Diving Blue Hole Belize
Well we sent young Cindy to the Blue Hole for the day and now she wants to marry all the crew at Pedro’s dive club. She said their boat, staff and equipment were excellent. The guys knew their stuff, were very professional and lots of fun too – must have been the super strength Panty Rippers after the day of diving!
She had to get up very early, pick up from the dock was 5.30am followed by the two hour boat ride out to the Atoll – even though Cindy is not an early bird she agreed it was well worth it. Thankfully, they filled her with coffee at the dive shop then she stuffed her face on breakfast, snacks, fruit and lunch.
She dove the Blue Hole and saw what she calls “proper’ sharks, black tips, reef sharks and a Bull shark – she was apparently slightly nervous with the Bull shark VERY close to her! Then off to Half Moon Caye wall for the 2nd dive – lunch at Half Moon Caye where there is the Booby Bird Sanctuary. Of course, she got pooed on! Then the third dive at the Aquarium which she said was really stunning.
If you too would like to dive the Blue Hole – just ask Cindy and she’ll tell you all about

Heading home after a great day of diving
She obviously had a Panty Ripper too many and her friends took advantage of her whilst she was snoozing on the boat and surrounded her with shoes. She’s still talking about the trip. Where should we send her next?
