Planning a trip to Placencia for a week in april to coincide with the whale shark migration through the gladden spit area and could use some advice. i've tried a number of searches but trip reports are scarce on this subject...
1. currently planning on diving with sea horse. i've heard both good and not so good about them from various sources. any experiences to share?
2. is there decent diving local to placencia that doesn't require a prolonged hours long boat ride? not sure i wanna do 6 straight days of whale shark dives. might be nice to do a day or two at other sites while i'm there.
3. does anyone know if any of the dive shops even send any of their boats anywhere other than gladden spit when the whale sharks are supposed to be around?
4. does anyone have any recs for mid-range to decent budget places to stay or eat...or booze in the placencia area?
thanks in advance everyone!
I'll be sure and post a detailed trip report and review of Sea Horse Dive Shop and the whole Placencia / Gladden Spit experience when I return.
