So we really did it up right on Cozumel this last year. Unreal trip. Dove with Blue XT Sea, "Hi Nivo and Pedro". Food, drinks, diving, all was incredible but we were with my retired parents and brother. We split a gorgeous place just south of Margaritaville and stayed on the 4th floor watching the ships come in and out each day. It was an amazing time. I clocked 20 dives, the wife and son, 10 a piece. We took it very easy.
Now it's on to check off a bucket list item in Belize but we are going to be with close friends this time; she's actually got family there, one of them operates the airport in San Pedro. One or two or their 5 might be certified divers by then but I'm not holding my breath...comdedic two deat drum, please.
So we will have 8. I can get a screaming deal on three tickets for my wife and son on Southwest to total $900 for all three to BZE. That's unreal. Now to the accommodations. I'd love to hear reviews from other divers who have done group trips and stayed in a large house or condo and can recommend something to me. I'm hoping that we will do a 60/40 split on the 9 day stay.
I keep reading that Island Divers is also one of the more preferred outfits with a combination of fun and safety. If someone else has some skin in the game and wants to pipe up about their place, I'm all ears. I understand that the going rate is $85 for two tanks per person. Sure isn't Roatan in 2008...$25 per two tanks. wow, Cocolobo was $70 a night then too, oh well, I digress.
I don't need to do the Blue Hole, not necessary but I may do it by without my wife and son one day if I feel the itch when there. I only trust divers when it comes to putting a package together so I'm up for suggestions. VRBO and Homeaway have been good for resources, but I'd love to know where are your favorite dwellings. Where do I shop for food to last the trip? Cozumel was like Houston. I could find anything there. Are there supermarkets in AC? I read the restaurants are fantastic so I will spend extra coin hitting the foodie joints.
Peace, swim.
