Comments	Traveling to Belize the midst of the omicron surge, I was doubtful it would actually happen...but we wound up having a magical experience. The other big group (12 people?) cancelled, so it was just the two of us with a private dive master, boat, cook, waitress, bartender, etc. All of the dives we did were within a 5-10 minute boat ride, which would up being great due to a colder north wind that started mid-week - so less time being cold on the way back was a blessing. We wore our own full length skin suits and 2mm shorties (rented from their dive shop), which was adequate but 3mm would have been better, end of dives were a bit cold. The coral was in good shape, only a few signs of die-off. All dives followed the top of the wall, with occasional exploration of canyons. We could have done other, more challenging dives but with my daughter being very new this was an appropriate level. No turtles, pretty regular sighting of reef sharks depending on the location, and some big groupers. Only a few crabs and rays, a fair number of lobsters, lots of the usual reef fish. Spent a few dives reducing the lionfish population with a sling speargun. Food was good, staff was super-friendly and helpful, and the overwater bar was fun.
