Comments	The resort and diving staff at Turneffe Island Lodge were fantastic. The accommodations were clean and very nice. The dive operators were knowledgable, well-trained, and courteous. The food was wonderful also. This diving was excellent. The visibility is probably normally better than we experienced because it was particularly windy the week we were there. We did see schools of hammerheads, lots of turtles and rays. Lots of green and spotted morays. The smaller fish life is spectacular also. We saw blennies, drumfish, cowfish, dogfish, etc. Now for the negative. TACA is, by far, the worst airline I have ever encountered. They gave up our seats (on two different legs), lost our luggage for two days (including half our dive gear), broke one piece of luggage. I highly recommend Turneffe Island Lodge but try to get there on another airline. The staff at the Lodge was very accommodating about our problems with TACA. They allowed us free use of their rental equipment and made constant inquiries with TACA until our situation was resolved. Thumbs way up for the Turneffe Island Lodge staff.
