Hi, my husband and I are planning our first dive vacation in two years and want to go to Belize for the first time. Initially, we were to stay at Hamanasi in hopes of diving with the whale sharks during the full moon. However, if eight divers do not book that week, then not only will they not do that dive, but they also will not take us out to the Atolls for diving. Only diving on the nearby reef all week, I believe.
Our other option is go to Turneffe Lodge for fantastic (so we think) diving close by all week. But, it has always been my dream to dive with the whale sharks.
I understand Hamansi can't tell us in advance if there will be enough divers. And, I'm willing to take that chance if the alternative diving on the reef is world class diving and worth it. This will probably be a once in a lifetime trip for us and we want to make sure we dive accordingly.
Can anyone give us any insight as to which direction to go? Is diving on the Southern Barrier Reef all week worth a once in a lifetime trip? Thank you so much for your time!
