Well, I think we have our trip planned and wanted to run it by those that know... We are in Belize for 10 days starting March 6th. I cannot wait.
It looks like we are planning on heading to AC for a few days and doing some of the local dives before heading to CC for a blue hole/elbow trip and then down to Placencia for a whale shark dive or two (full moon is on the 10th I believe and we will probably be arriving there on the 13th or so).
The reason we are going to all three spots is to see more of the country and all it has to offer. Really didnt want to be in one spot the whole time.
We do not have anything set in stone (hotels, dive shops, local transfers...) and wanted to see what you all thought about the timeline or possible suggestions. It is going to be a pretty loose trip in terms of dates and we can be persuaded to do things differently.
A couple questions I still have:
I know its a lot of questions and I do appreciate the answers. I really want to have a fun time on this trip! Thanks in advance!!

A couple questions I still have:
- Is there anything I am missing?
- Suggestions to stay in the under $60/nt range?
- How is the road to Placencia? Should I take a plane?
- Is a rash guard or spring suit suggested?
- It looks like most diving is from a boat, should I be bringing full foot fins or my open heel?
- Should we move Placencia earlier to get a better chance at the whale sharks?
- Do you have to go back to mainland between CC and Placencia?
- Should we dive the BH from AC instead of CC?
- How reliable is the trip from Placencia back up to Belize city to make a flight? Should I stay overnight in the city?
I know its a lot of questions and I do appreciate the answers. I really want to have a fun time on this trip! Thanks in advance!!
