Week in Belize - Outer AtollsBest of IgoUgo

Overview

Dive the BLUE HOLE!!!!! you will never regret it, even if you are an amatuer diver.

Quick Tips:

The resort that we stayed at was wonderful, The Blackbird Caye Resort. Be sure to bring some snack food with you and maybe a bottle of booze(their booze isn't cheap).

Best Way To Get Around:

The resort picks you up at the Belize airport and takes you to the docks, where you board their boat for the hour and a half boat ride to the beautiful resort island.

Restaurant

The resort had a full kitchen staff which prepared 3 meals a day plus little snacks throughout the day. It was gourmet cooking at its finest for a remote island resort. There was always some sort of fresh fish or lobster caught in the bay of the resort fresh every day. Tons of fresh fruit and fruit drinks as well as coffee, tea, cokes, etc. It was wonderful eating after a long day of scuba diving.

Attraction

The diving was amazing, especially the BLUE HOLE. The water was always clear minimum 150 feet and warm (no thermocline). The wildlife was great-sea turtles everywhere as well as spotted eagle rays, manta, and sting rays. We did run into a couple of reef sharks, but nothing that posed a threat to us. Tons of schools of fish and baracuda, lots and lots of carribean lobsters. Sponges everywhere as well as the rare elkhorn coral, as well as the painful fire coral. The best diving I have ever done. Can't wait to go back.
