Belize




When you arrive in Belize you will notice that there is no pier for the ship. It is a "tender port", the ships anchors a few miles offshore and everyone is tendered to the mainland on small boats. It's strange that we have been to Belize twice but have never been to the mainland. Belize is one of the most beautiful dive destinations in the world. We are usually tendered to a resort to do our dives, then back to the ship.

NCL contracts with the Hugh Parkey Resort. It has great boats and a great staff that will show you the amazing reefs and all the sealife that is there. It is a smaller resort so the staff becomes familiar with the divers. Carlos, our dive guide, seemed like an old friend by the time we were done with our dives. Even our dive guide (William) from our trip last year came by to say hello.

The water is almost always 82 degrees, the visibility in the water is 50-80 ft and the coral reefs are beautiful. Belize will always be one of our favorite dives destinations.
