SCUBA Dive in Belize with the Cruise Ship Tour

[flyau98]

We just got back from Belize, and don't normally book our adventures with the ships shore excursion desk, but we did this time and I believe it was the right descision.

 

Hugh Parkey's Belize Dive Connection is the operator that serves Carnival:

His trip picked up up directly from the ship (others required a trip to the pier and a walk or taxi through Belize City, not a fun thought with 30lbs of equip), which allowed enough time to get to the calm waters off Turneffe Atoll (others took divers to the barrier reef, which was exposed to 4-6ft seas the day we were there...Boat Capt said is was calm that day). The dive was beautiful and totally hassel free. We could have saved about $30 each going ashore but it wouldn't have been worth it by any stretch. The ship's snorkel/SNUBA tour went to the barrier reef and I heard it was a mess with current and rough water.

 

I've dove around the world and Turneffe Atoll was probably the #1 or #2 dive I've done. Well worth the $140.
