hello all - just got certified here in California and am anxious to try tropical diving. I'm really into whale sharks (snorkeled with them in Mexico last year - off Isla Holbox) but now that I'm certified I'd LOVE to dive with them. So I'm tentatively planning a trip around the full moon of May or June. I'm looking at staying at one of the atoll resorts near Dangriga (Coco Plum, Thatch Caye, Blackbird Caye) so I can be close to the whale shark sites.
but here's my dilemma - I also REALLY want to spend a couple days diving the cenotes in the Yucatan while i'm in that general area, now that I'm certified (snorkeled them on the same Mexico trip last year). Is this doable?? I would probably fly to Belize first, stay for 4-5 nights then move on to do 2-3 nights on the Yucatan (Tulum or Akumal), and return to the U.S. via Cancun.
would i need to fly between the countries, or is there a bus? I know there are transfers but they're pricey for one person (I'm most likely going solo), so I thought of buses, but can't really find a lot of info. Is this too much? Anyone done this?
