"Thanks for your email. Yes - things are going really well out here, and I'm having a fantastic time. Everyone has been extremely friendly and supportive, the diving is unbelievable, and i'll be very sorry to leave I'm sure! Polly is awesome, and has really looked after us."

Thinking of going scuba diving in Belize?  Want to avoid the annoying crowds of noisy tourists?  This is the place for you.  Rustic, undisturbed setting, lovely easy going people and by simply showing up you are making a positive contribution to a very good cause.  Plus, they have plenty of beer & rum at Frank’s Caye to help fuel the evening game of cards or, if you prefer, a lazing afternoon of reading in the hammock.  Here’s the typical day: 6.30am wake up, grab a coffee, grab your kit & dive.  8ish, big yummy breakfast of tortilla, eggs & beans prepared by jolly Molly, 11.30am, 2nd morning dive.  12.30pm – 2.30pm eat more, read, sleep in hammock then afternoon dive and then maybe a beer?  So, as you can tell it’s a pretty high stress atmosphere!!!  Thanks

Marine conservation, most divers believe in it, few actively do anything to help.  I’ve dived for many years and decided it was time to pay back.  I even had to find a map to discover where PG and Belize is as it is off the beaten track of normal dive locations.  These last 4 weeks have been wonderful.  I have taken 100’s of photos, can tell a grunt from a snapper, can sex a lobster and just about identify soft coral!  Which is a lot more than when I arrived!  My thanks to Polly & Colin for taking a simple BSAC diver and opening his eyes to life underwater.  Thanks also to Molly for the great food and Roland for his skill at driving the boat.  I mustn’t forget John, a very good friend of Polly’s who has yet to beat me at pool…maybe next time…..

Thank you for a wonderful time.  I want to spend hours and hours on the reef observing all the life.  I’ve been given a taste and the feeling of more is strong!  I’ll be back.  Colin & Polly thank you for the instruction, I felt so safe at all times and learnt so much in such a short time, you were great.  April & Bryan, yoga every morning was a real treat, if relaxing in a hammock after a days diving wasn’t enough!  Loved hearing about life underwater, the coral, the reef creatures and the fish.  Keep up the great science work.  I’m already trying to plan a return, thanks

Thanks for an excellent chilled out month, time has flown so fast!  The diving was excellent, the science informative and I’ve even learnt to do head spins – thanks Colin!!!  Molly’s food is excellent, Captain Roland really does make you feel like your are in a James Bond movie with his driving!  Thanks again for a great trip
