Hi Mawg, Your question isn't really that simple, and it's really not posted in the right thread. Yes, your cell phone will probably work. No, you probably won't get the same experience you had in Cozumel. In fact, you might not be able to make a call. It all depends on who you're using for a...

Hi Jumblies, Nice work! I guess from my perspective, keeping a sheet like this up to date, will prove to be an imposing task. Only the real pros, or active native divers will really know the details. Just the fact that the operators you've listed were willing to share data with you, is a...

sorry I missed the MK25. I've an older MK14, that I'd like to upgrade. Maybe another time....

Which Mares reg is this? I guess I'll wait for pics.

Hi, I'm not actually familiar with those retractors, but I'm looking for a couple. Can you tell me how far they extend/retract? Thanks

I've an extra pair of black Edge fins I bought last year for my wife. Used once on trip to the Caymans. They are S/M, but I think they run a little large, and were a little too big for her (She's a women's size 7.5). Open-foot. Pic posted below. $15, plus shipping.

I second Ambergris Caye. There are so many good sites, that offer a good range of difficulty -- even on the same sites. You can elect to go thru tunnels, for instance, while your wife can simply swim over. We dove with Ecologic, and they do have affordable packages. Try calling them (ask for...

We stayed at Victoria House. It was terrific, and fits your criteria. Several pools, restaurants, and very well-kept beach. Very nice. The downside (or upside, depending on your perspective, I guess) is that it's about a mile from town. An easy bikeride, and an easier golf cart ride. I loved...

>>>> Note to self: Make sure Darcey's on the Island for next year's dive trip.....

Yes, definitely book the flight ahead of time. Both Mayan Air and Tropic are comparable, and have "terminals" (if you can really call them that) on opposite sides of the runway. I don't remember there being a limit on baggage. We carried three bags (his, hers, and dive gear), without any...

I heard good things about Reef Adventures too. I did like Ecologic. Sorry to hear the front office turned you off. It's hard to shake off a first impression like that, but the divers, boat crew, and most everybody there were terrific. The size of the groups varied, from day to day. Four of the...

I'd go with Ecologic. Steve runs a class operation. I just spent last week with them, diving every day. It's the little things that set them apart -- they'll bring along a digital camera, so you don't have to mess around with it. Hot towels onboard the dive boat. Refreshments between dives...

Take the flight. It's been quite breezy this week, which will make the water taxi seem much longer than it already is....

We've walked by Paradise Villas several times this week. Looks nice and quiet, yet not far from town.

$50 bounty for a LionFish! (I'd think this should get some attention) Ambergris Today - San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye, Belize

Hi, We're also on AC, the first week in March. I chose Ecologic, based on many positive reviews here, but I think that it'd be rare for you to find a really BAD operation on AC. Do a search for postings by peterbj7. He's a frequent poster on SB, and will likely add to this thread. He's posted...

Boy, I wish I'd seen this about a month ago, when I was looking for one of these. Sorry, I found a good Scubapro instead. Oh well.

Great information! Thanks Doc Peter

Hank, 45 feet sounds like a long way away. I hope you were talking about the depth? ;) How accurate are those guns, and how close do you have to be? Peter
