Heading to Belize for the first time, where to stay, who to dive with

[karmadive]

i just come down to ambergis caye from playa del carmen , travelled by car to corozal, then flew over, great and not exspensive. diving is spectacular, lots more fish life than cozumel excellent reef formation. there are lots of hotels which are not exspensive but im stayin at pedros which is like a hostel very comfortable and cheap.some dive stores charge around $100 for two tanks others $75 so best to check but they are good and professional. i cant say to much more as its all been said but youll have a blast. enjoy

Wife and I are heading down next month for dual purpose this time. Dive and look for property to purchase. We won't buy this trip as it is more of a scouting trip for future decision making.

We'll look over AC but are more interested on Placencia and Dangriga. Punta Gordo is maybe a little too laid back but we'll look there too.

Any knowledgable suggestions?

I enjoyed diving with Belize Diving Services on Caye Caulker. I can't remember the name of the guest house I stayed at there, but it was extremely reasonable ( < $10/night) and certainly adequate for my needs (but I'm a backpacker or traveler type).

You probably know this, but the reef is a long way out at Placencia and Dangriga.
