Comments This is a very small eco-resort with a max capacity of 25 guests. Resort also caters to fly fishermen and has an outstanding snorkel program. The owners work very hard to see that the reefs stay healthy by working with Belize government. And all the guests are treat very well by the employees of this small resort. The dive masters at the resort are very helpful in finding fish to show guests. I think the reefs in this area are beautiful with enough fishes to keep me busy searching for all the hidden ones. On a typical dive day you head out at 7:30 in the morning and stay on the covered dive boat all day to do your 3 dives. the resort packs a picnic lunch for you to eat on the dive boat. There is a choice of 5 items. One day during the week we go to the Blue Hole area for our 3 dives. If the group decides not to dive the Blue Hole we are allowed to do 3 dives in the area and those dives are always beautiful. I cannot say enough good things about this resort. Also this is a valet dive resort.
We did have cloudy days and some rain but not enough to keep us from diving. I was there during storm season.
