Reprint from our local paper about the Hole Chan Marine Reserve Trip
A recent San Pedro Sun newspaper article about the
Hol Chan Marine Reserve trip for diving and snorkeling.
Today we are on our way to dive Hol
Chan (a Maya word that means small channel) Marine Reserve. The weather is
perfect with only a slight breeze, and the water is crystal clear, highlighting
the array of blues and turquoise colors that make the Caribbean famous. Belize
has long been considered among the best dive destinations on the planet. And in
this small Caribbean country, the island of Ambergris Caye offers countless
diving experiences just minutes from her shore.
San Pedro town offers numerous dive operations with dive masters who ensure a memorable and safe experience. Today we are with White Sands Dive Shop, among the oldest and prestigious dive operations on the island. Owner and operator Elbert Greer has a staff of seven who are dive masters, diving instructors, fishing guides, snorkel guides and boat captains. Four of the guides are with us today as we travel the short distance to Hol Chan, which offers an underwater experience for every class of diver.

Four of the guides are with us today as we travel the short distance to Hol Chan, which offers an underwater experience for every class of diver.
Five of us who are experienced
divers will tour with Carlos; two are snorkeling with their own guide; two are
first time divers who will attain their open water certification with head
instructor Ruben; and a couple from England have their own guide. Each guide
helps their patrons with their equipment, double-checking every detail.
One by one we plunge into the water.
Immediately we are greeted by a diverse array of underwater creatures. A huge
grouper appears to be about the same size as our dive master! Gradually our
group descends along the south wall of the channel. A majestic eagle ray passes
just feet below, and soon a pair of nurse sharks swim past.
As we move up the north wall, we see
a countless variety of fish as they either traverse the coral, or clump
together in huge schools, such as the yellow snappers and blue tangs. Soon we
catch sight of a sea turtle whose shell glistens as it surfaces for a quick
gulp of air before diving again to dine on turtle grass.
The shallow dive of less than 30
feet allows us to stay under for nearly an hour. As we emerge, more stories are
shared. “Did you see the eel?” exclaimed Margret Bayston. “It came right out
and touched my BC,” she continued. Having dived all over the world, Margaret
shared that this is among the best dive destinations she has ever experienced
and the people of White Sands Dive Shop among the most professional and fun.
Once back at the dive shop, she and her husband immediately book another dive
for the next day.

The Great Blue Hole


The Great Blue Hole in Belize
Approximately 45 miles from Ambergris Caye, the almost perfectly circular Blue Hole is more than 1,000 feet (305 meters) across and some 400 feet (123 meters) deep. The hole is the opening to what was a dry cave system during the Ice Age. When the ice melted and the sea level rose, the caves were flooded, creating what is now a magnet for intrepid divers. Today the Blue Hole is famed for its sponges, barracuda, corals, angelfish—and a school of sharks often seen patrolling the hole’s edge.
White Sands Dive Shop uses 'Papa Changa' for the Blue Hole Trip because of the professionalism of its crew and ya wana be on the largest boat in town for the open ocean crossing to the Blue Hole.
This 3 dive day trip departs 5:30 am returns 5:00 pm. coffee and continental breakfast, Picnic Lunch is on Halfmoon Caye.

Belize Weather for December
December usually arrives wet and leaves drier as the
wet season begins to wind down. December temperatures in Belize fall to an
average low of 71°F (22°C) with highs of 80°F (27°C) for a monthly average of
around 75°F (24°C) – the perfect weather to enjoy a comfortable Christmas
holiday, warm enough for swimming and with pleasantly cool evenings.
In Belize
the high season for tourists corresponds roughly with the dry season: December
to May. The shoulder months – especially December – receive a fair amount of
rain, but not enough to scare away the multitudes of travelers who want to
spend their holidays in the tropics. Most hotels and resorts are more expensive
during this period.
The biggest influx of tourists comes between December
15 and January 15, and during the weeks around Easter.

The Cleaning Station
This Grouper is visiting the Cleaning Station.
A fascinating place where he parks himself motionless, opens his mouth and flairs his gills while small cleaner fish rush out to eat particles from his teeth, gills and skin as if it where a cleaning service.
He respectfully shakes to warn the fish he's leaving and they exit his mouth and gills before he closes them.
