Hello All,
Going to be on a cruise in late October early November 2024.
I will have single shore days at the following. Shore days will be 8am-5:30pm.
1. Harvest Kay, Belize
2. Roatan, Honduras (coxen hole)
3. Costa Maya, MX
I would like to do some diving in all three places. I'm usually a 2 tank drift diver like most of us, I guess. I want to see the wildlife and corals mostly reef not into wreak diving. I do have close to 500 dives with my own gear. However, I am not sure I will be taking my gear with me this time so may be renting.
I would love some reccomendations from experts here on the three ports of call above. Preferably with dive ops that will pick up and drop off at or walking distance to the cruise port... Harvest cay is NCLs private island. Is there any good diving down that way south? I know turneffe, lighthouse reef are excellent but those would be too far. Any ops that would pick up divers from harvest cay or is that not happening?
Also have a question about dive knives and equipment on cruise ships... specifically Norwegian. Do they allow you to bring equipment (less tank) on board? Anyone have expierience with this? When I fly, it hasn't been an issue as long as it's in the check in never brought it on a cruise ship b4.
Thanks in advance for any and all reccomendations offered.
