See Belize City by cruiseship, any shop recommendations?

Not sure if this is late to need, but either do the cruise ship tour, or don't dive. The ship anchors up 30 min from mainland and 30 min from diving....you'll spend 3 hours on a boat to the mainland, back to the atoll and repeat vs 1 hour RT directly off the ship.

So Hugh Parkey is gone (RIP), and so is the great benefit of getting picked up right from the ship. Well, the next option is Sea Sports Belize. 20-minute tender to town, 2 blocks to the dive shop, they set out when everyone with a reservation is ready— they regularly work with divers off of cruise ships. A 30-minute ride to first barrier reef dive sites. Lunch on board. Then second dive. You're back in BC by 2:30, well before time to worry about making the ship.

Barrier Reef Diving

Tropical seas - turquoise greens and blues - and warm sun. Underwater the colorful corals and vibrant fish and other unique coral reef creatures greet you along your dive on the drop-off of the...

It’s not Hugh Parkey, but it’s diving!

After Hugh Parkey’s Belize Dive Connection (HPBDC) closed for business, Jaguar Adventures Tours opened a dive shop and is operated by ex HPBDC manager and dive staff, you can find the dive shop on PADI, we offer customized tour for cruise passengers.

Man, thanks! SSB is having trouble getting enough bodies for a TT reef dive. They keep asking if I want a T Hol Chan and snorkel trip, which I really don’t. I will contact you this morning.

Can you be a little more specific?

For example, where in Belize will you be staying?

Found a shop at the National Marine park that picks up at Belize City

There are a number of marine reserves in Belize, which is a big place, and none are especially close to Belize City. Nor do they have shops "at the parks" per se. Where are you staying? Or are you in Belize City for a day on a cruise ship? (in which case you might have only one choice, and due to distances a good place to do a dive excursion offered by the cruise ship, if there is one.) Without that info I'm not sure anyone can help much as the question is confusing.
