I guess I will...

    Belize Pirates?

    For a regular dive trip down south I dont think anyone has anything to worry about, this is clearly a charter catamaran type of incident and it is my understanding that those types of sailors are aware that when sailing Pirates are a real threat especially in certain parts of the world, however...

    Top Ten Dive Sites on Ambergris caye

    I tend to agree with Elbert and feel that the Poll did lean towards the southern dive sites of Ambergris simply because more divers have dove to the South of San Pedro and therefore voted for the only sites they were familiar with. Some of the Northern sites are really great and I operated...
