COLDREDNECK:Pilot fish if you get the chance to dive the blue hole .. Do it !!! Its a fantastic dive . A group of 6 of us were there in Feb . We dove with Amigos Del Mar and found them to be a first rate class outfit. Vey safe. The ride out was horrible , very rough, even in their big cruiser, but the dive after made it all worth while. The stalagtites a very cool , not quite as nice as in some of the Cenotes in Playa but very big and interesting to see. The reef sharks came out to play as we ascended and provided some heightened adrenalin rushes. All in all a very memorible dive.
As to the lady with the bends. I agree with the others . Each person has to set their own limits on what they feel they can handle. We are all Advanced divers with 70+ dives and felt very comfortable decending to Rec limits. We had all been deep before and were careful to follow the limits on our computers. No body had any problems. I'd like to have a little more back ground on that ladies dive history and history of that dive before condeming the dive outfit.
just my 2 cents.
I do intend to do it [ would have done it that day if it were not a 3 hour boat ride to get there] but I will do it when I stay at Turneffe or Lighthouse.
