Comments	[None]Meals were varied and tasty. The free rum punch was an everyday affair. Waterfront cabana clean, practical, but dimly lit. Personnel friendly. No kids allowed unless old enough for scuba , kayaks, etc. This helped a lot with the honeymoons, fishing, snorkeling, socializing, meetings, and relaxing. The main dive boat,"Dreammaker" was half covered, about 38 feet long, and very good for 8 people. It was powered by a pair of 200 V-6 outboard motors. However, the windy season had started and the long rides to dive sites were pretty bumpy in the chop and swells. The 40 minute trip to Turneffe Atoll took 2 hours. Years ago in other parts of the Caribbean I'd see grunts and snappers in groups of 4 to 8, but here it was mostly one at a time. A good variety of fish but not many of them. Eagle rays were seen on almost every dive. The paucity of common reef fish may have been caused by lion fish. The dive guide would get some lionfish on a 3-pronged spear and troll it around to see what interest it drew. There were red hinds (grouper), a green moray, barracuda, and a nurse shark that showed some degree of interest. Only the barracuda and moray ate a lionfish. Only the moray lives where the lionfish live, so morays would be most likely to prey on them. St. George Caye is nice but it is not Raja Ampat. On the other hand, it's only a few hours from Houston.

UW Photo Comments	[None]Few serious u/w photogs. Crew were careful handling cameras. There was a large bucket of fresh water for cameras aboard. Ashore there were no particular camera fascilities. Voltage for was 110 v in room so recharging batteries was not a problem.
