- While the Blue Hole is certainly an interesting dive, it's definitely not
- worth planning an entire dive trip around. There is very little life in the
- hole.
-
- But the diving around is some of the best in the Caribbean. If you don't mind
- doing only two dives per day, then the shore-based operations are OK. But for
- maximum fun, get on a liveaboard. There are two excellent ones cruising the
- area, the Belize Aggressor and the Peter Hughes boat Wave Dancer. Of the two,
- I'd prefer the Dancer because it has more heads. Either boat will get you to
- the Blue Hole, but I think you'll find that it is the other dives like Half
- Moon Wall that you'll remember...
