Comments	Amigos del Mar is a first-rate dive operation. Will was an excellent dive master, providing detailed briefings, and worked extremely well with divers having a wide range of experience. Savas and Mike were fine boat drivers. Boats and gear in excellent condition. Picked up and drop off at dock near condo, always on time. Only complaint was that some dives had 10-11 divers for only one dive master. Belize Reef Suites were very spacious, attractive, fully-equipped condos, on beach, with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and very near San Pedro town. However, it is only a few hundred yards from the airstrip. When there was no wind, or wind was from west, and we didn't use the air conditioning, planes were very noisy beginning at 6:50 AM for a full hour then intermittently during the day, until 7 PM. During two mornings, had very strong smell of plane engine exhaust. The Blue Water, Caliente, and Fido's served excellent food. Elvi's had a fine Mayan buffet on Friday night. Ali Baba has pretty good take-out barbecue chicken and middle eastern dishes, also served in small restaurant. We shopped in both the upscale supermarket and the small mom-and-pop markets. Recommend the small shops for less expensive groceries. Fresh fruits were consistently excellent from the street vendors.
