Comments	Note-I did not visit their shore operations so my ratings would be N/A if that was a choice. This also was arranged through Carnival Cruise Line's Elation so I was even more skeptical. I did call the operator beforehand and they were very helpful. This was by far and beyond the best crew on the cleanest boat I have ever dove from. They were very safety and conservation oriented. Our guide showed anyone who was interested each unique creature and labeled it on his dive slate. Let us dive a nice slow dive that allowed us to soak in the incredible life on these remarkably healthy reefs. The operator picked us up right from the cruise ship and took care of us as though we were still on the cruise. Provided great and unlimited snacks and soft drinks between and after dives. I would dive with this operator again in a heartbeat although my next trip to Belize will hopefully be on a live aboard.
