We stayed on Ambergriss Key where the dive boats were plentiful and on time. We would put our tanks on the patio and the dive guides would load them in the boat, it was pretty plush. they took care of everything and it was a pleasure dealing with them. In Belize you have to dive with a guide, they watch you to make sure you behave and don't damage the reef. the guides pointed out places where photographers would hold the coral to steady themselves for a shot and kill the coral. There were these hand shaped shadows of dead coral everywhere we dove. I didn't like the idea of diving with a guide, but, these guys were cool, fun loving island dudes and we had a good time with them. I recomend Belize, it's cool. Mahalo, Al
