Great time. We saw so many creatures. A friend of mine got Open Water certified there with Instructor Karim and had a great experience. Several of us also got our nitrox certs, which made the 3 dives/day a blast rather than exhausting. At the time Blackbird didn't have full length wetsuits available, only shorties, which was rough after the 4th day for a female with low body fat like myself, but Blackbird said they would plan to add full-length wetsuits for rent in the future.
Our divemaster was Emmanuel, and he took us to see so much amazing sea life, as well as being very knowledgeable about the local atoll. My favs were probably diving with nurse and reef sharks and seeing three baby squids on the night dive.
The service was solid; the staff was always willing to accommodate and fix things if any problems arose. Our boat crews, divemasters, and island managers all remembered our names, and the divemasters and boat captain Elroy especially made us feel very welcome.
On food, the quality was good to great; however, several of our party had gluten and dairy restrictions, which although the cooks always made an effort to accommodate, there were multiple times when the wait staff told us something didn't have gluten/dairy which actually did, likely due to miscommunication in the kitchen.
The wifi also went out a couple days into the trip, which was pretty frustrating since I needed to get in touch with a new pet sitter who was starting midweek, but the staff told us it may have been an issue with the fiber on the mainland of Belize.
The Blue Hole was very cool: sheer deep wall with massive stalactites below ~120 ft. The only wildlife inside was a bit of algae growing on the walls due to there being no current inside, but it's still very much worth doing once. - via
