Diver down

ShopVac · 04-17-2019, 03:10 PM

Checked off a bucket list item with a dive at the blue hole. 2.5 hour boat ride from San Pedro Belize...so not easy to get to.

I'll need to post more when I get back in the states....

Any other divers? Share some dive pics....

Great pics though I clicked expecting something about Van Halen!

I was told there would be some VH as well

Joekerr · 04-17-2019, 04:49 PM

Nice pics, but if I saw a shark (any kind, because I can't recognize the differences), I'd be all sorts of nope.

Rmtt · 04-17-2019, 04:55 PM

Love that shot of the tortoise!

ScottyRyan2019 · 04-17-2019, 05:14 PM

I once held my breath in the bathtub as a kid. Does that count?

(PS...that is cool as shit! Would love to do that someday!)

But the people you meet underwater on a recovery are not very friendly

Stunning pics ShopVac. Thanks for sharing!

Nice pics, I’m heading down to do Honduras, Belize and Cozumel next week. Lots of scuba and snorkelling coming up, love it!!
Will see if I can try for pics, I have a crappy old school underwater camera. I think it’s max Rez is 800x600. Haha

eluded · 04-18-2019, 12:49 AM

Nice pics ! Did you go diving anywhere else there? How are the locals? I want to go

ShopVac · 04-18-2019, 09:29 AM

There are plenty of dive sites off of San Pedro...all give a little something different. There is also diving off of Belize City on the main land.

Locals here are great. Everybody speaks English...many are ex-pats from the states.

Not the best diving I've done...but close to it.

Heading to my favorite dive site, Bonaire, in November

Yeah...that doesn't sound...safe. You didn't question the wisdom in swimming through chum?

I don't know, maybe they were the little sharks that don't go after humans or something, but still not going to be on the list of things I willingly do. And especially not on the list of things I'll pay for.

Shark alley in Belize wasnt that big of deal jumped out and promptly stood on the back of a shark while trying to adjust goggles.

ShopVac · 04-18-2019, 12:08 PM

Believe that's the Hol Chan marine reserve...most of the sharks there are nurse sharks. Relatively harmless (until they kill everyone). My wife did the snorkel there...she's still with me.
