That's a Total of 19.5 Hrs of blissful bottom time and an average
depth of 65'. I only did all 5 dives on one day of the trip,
averaging 4 dives/day (after all, this was a vacation). We dove Nitrox all
week (the boat's membrane system puts out 29 - 30%) except for the Blue Hole
dive, which was on Air.
Our favorite sites were near Half Moon Caye. Specifically, the Half
Moon Wall and Tarpon Caves. There were lots of large critters cruising
along the wall. Both sites are amazing, but were very rough, with winds
gusting in the 40 knot range.
Our least favorite site was "Peter's Place" as the wind/tide
reduced the visibility to about 30' half-way through the dive.
