Tranquility Bay Resort, north Ambergris Caye, Belize

It may have been but it may not have been, which was my point. An excuse will be made to discredit the previous management, right, wrong or indifferent.

Again I ask TBR, who or which dive op is handling the guests dives. This should not be a secret and one would think could be told with some measure of pride?

I expressed my concerns way back when this thread was started and since then have been in contact with the resort and I have even heard from one of the owners. I have been assured that I will be able to dive right from the resort as I have in the many past trips I have made to TBR. I first started diving there before they had a dive shop on site and never experienced any trouble then and I am not expecting any trouble when I get there in a couple of weeks. In my previous four trips to the resort there have 3 different managers and had a great time each trip. Seems to be the way it is, so as long as they continue to offer diving to the many great sites up at the north end of the island, I'll be happy. I will make sure that I report back here after I get back as there seems to be alot of concern.

Does anyone know what happened to Carlos and Isabelle and/or where they went or how to contact them??

 

[peterbj7]

They went back to Canada where Isabelle recently gave birth to a baby boy. Carlos is contactable via Facebook.

We spent a week at TBR in August, vowing to return. Honestly, Carlos and Isabelle were high on the list of reasons to return so I'll watch upcoming reviews here and on Trip Advisor with interest and attention. The summer rate for the room we had is up >26%.

I promised to report back, so here I am! The wedding went off without a hitch, and TBR proved to be every bit amazing as the pictures on the website. We only did two dives, mainly due to windy weather conditions and being busy with other activities. Both dives were decent...just not a TON to see...but that's as diving goes...another group did a shallow dive and saw a bunch of neat stuff. Yemen is a wonderful DM, and the boat captain was great! His briefs were detailed and he was good about pointing things out, and checking air etc. The equipement seemed to be well maintained...no complaints! I'd say that dive operations are alive and well at TBR!
