Marc's Public Blog - Trips to other locations

Most of the time was spent on the aggressor diving, but we also visited things around Belize a little bit.

Here is the GPS track of our trip including the dives and flights, showing a good visual overview of the trip:

Nice view over Miami

Belize City

Belize is where cars go to die, they're stripped for parts and left where they were

want fruit?

Cave Tubing

nice caves

fruit and insect bats

Lamanai Mayan Ruins

Those were a bit farther and included a 1h boat ride down a river to a place where driving would have likely taken longer. The boat ride was actually pretty fun, including the monkey visit, and the ruins that are only very partially excavated due to lack of funds, were pretty impressive (the guide also did a good job of describing the Mayan culture and history). The mosquitoes in the forest were however very numerous and fierce...

It was gatesfest where we got to try Gates housings and equipment

Between the dives, we got to visit Half Moon Caye, which was a nice little excursion:

juicy hermit crabs there too

But back to diving: Belize was not the best place we've been to so far, but it was still enjoyable to dive and the water was a nice 29C. They did have very juicy sizeable lobsters and crabs though :)
