Help us decide, please! We are trying to decide on our next dive trip and both of these options keep coming up. We love the Nekton liveaboards (done 2 Bahamas trips with them) and have heard nothing but good comments about Belize diving. We have also heard nothing but great things about Cocoview and the fact you get lots of boat dives and beach dives, plus nice rustic resort (just the type we like) with meals included (which we like, we hate wasting time in restaurants on a dive vacation).
So, it looks like our next trip will be sometime Oct-Dec if all things fall into place (like money and time off work). So which would be best? Doing underwater photo and video is a big consideration but we know both are great for that. Cocoview is cheaper by a little bit but not enough to make it the outright winner. We just did a Nekton trip so maybe we should do land-based next??
Husband still has Cozumel pre-hurricane as some of his favorite dives and we have been told that Belize is just like Cozumel without the current.
We have done lots of big animals lately (Palau sharks and mantas, Bahamas sharks and turtles) so that isn't as big a deal. We both love the little stuff - seahorses, nudibranchs, blennies, etc. I think both places are known for those. We both love walls and swim-thrus, too.
Does the weather that time of year differ for Belize and Roatan? They are so close together and it is the end of hurricane season so we know it might rain. Any other comments?
