Comments This was a Jim Church Underwater photo school cruise. Everything you would expect from Aggressor. Mostly had 5 dives a day including 1 night dive. It seems that most of the hard corals have succumbed to bleaching or SCTLD. Soft corals were plentiful however. Saw sharks on most dives and Spotted Eagle Rays on many. Blue Hole was an interesting dive and coming back up found a Nurse shark on a ledge. Good wall diving with plenty of photo subjects. On night dives we were always accompanied by several Tarpons. Best dive sites were off Half Moon Caye where there is a very nice wall on one side and some nice sandy spots on the other. Most of the diving on this trip was done off of Long Caye.

At the time of this trip you only needed proof of vaccine to enter Belize, not sure what it is now. Boat provided ability for a Covid test on the last day with results in hours prior to flight home. I think it was about $80 US.

There was a charging station setup on the second shelf of the camera table. All the chargers were unplugged nightly, and they had 1 person on night watch every night. There was no charging allowed in cabins when you were not there. I found my phone unplugged if I had left it in my cabin during diving.

Great level of service from the crew, and a very fun photo class.

UW Photo Comments This was an UW photo school cruise and almost everyone had a camera. There was room on the camera table to support everyone's rig, although somewhat crowded at times. Nice large rinse tank, and charging station below the table.
