Hello All,
I'm going with my fiance to belize over x-mas (my second trip her first). She tried out diving last year in PDC and plans to do a referral class before we head down. I was curious about thoughts for dive ops for the check out dives. She is still not the most comfortable in the water so definitely want a place that will be patient, though she did great and loved it in PDC (Jason was a great instructor!)
It seems that Amigos del Mar gets the most press but how are they for classes? Good individual attention? Also they seem to be the most expensive.
I also recall reading some nice stuff about Patojo's - we initially were going to stay at the Tides (chose Banana Beach instead). Any thoughts on them or also ecological divers?
Also, it would be nice to do all of our diving with one place...I have no need to go back to the blue hole (definitely worth doing once) but would like to do a trip out Turneffe. Is ADM the only shop that goes out there? Who tends to give the best variety of day-to-day diving. I imagine x-mas is a zoo so I don't know if that's good or bad for getting on boats (more boats going out but also more people on them)...
Thanks as always,
