Comments	Good diving, for the Caribbean. We saw lots of turtles, including quite a few loggerheads. Unfortunately, like the rest of the Caribbean, many lionfish. At happy hour, the lionfish fingers were delicious! The staff was very friendly and accommodating and management was eager to please. The resort is for people who want to get away - no town, nightlife, etc.

we were there in April 2012 and the operation was a mess. new management who were too lose and unorganized. old time dive masters (2) were good, but rest of staff untrained and manager's wife should never lead a dive! wonderful rooms and location and pretty good food. I hope they get the operation under control.

Apparently there is has been another change in management, since everything was running very smoothly when we were there in April 2013. Manager Paul welcomed our input. Divemasters, boat crews and wait staff were very competent and helpful. Based on our experience, we definitely recommend Blackbird Caye.
