Comments	Belize diving from the Sundancer II is generally pretty easy, but its important to keep in mind a couple of things before you choose this destination. 1. Perhaps due to the time of year (July) visibility was fair at best. It can be difficult to find the boat even though you could hear it due to limited visibility. Brush up on your navigation. 2. There are dive masters in the water, but the ratio of divers to dive masters is high. We had 19 divers and my wife and I dove our own profile, but at times the dive master had a large pack of divers following them around. You will probably have the best experience diving independently. 3. If you have never dove below 100 ft the Blue Hole is good learning experience and relatively easy. 4. Belize is an easy trip from the midwest or west coast. They speak English and the US$ is welcome everywhere. But Belize City is a dump -- skip it entirely. If you want to see more of Belize, go upcountry or to the outer islands. The Sundancer II crew and the organization of the dive deck were excellent. Special recognition to Eddie for helping a diver back to the boat during the Blue Hole dive. Overall we would highly recommend the liveaboard experience, and are looking forward to diving with the Hughes organization in other locales.
