Diving in Belize

A highlight of our trip was scuba diving together in the Caribbean. This was at Caye Calker, Belize. Three generations of KBs underwater together! Take it from us this is a must to add to your bucket list.

Caye Calker is a delightful, laid-back little town - very Caribbean in nature, but it's on the mainland (actually it's an island just half an hour by water taxi off the mainland).




We enjoyed a series of three dives with Frenchies, a friendly little outfit. Nobody at Frenchies speaks French, but the diving there is great!
The diving tender Seaweed left the dock at 7:00 AM. A seriuosly early start for vacationers, but even the teenager didn't complain about it.

The crew was competent, helpful, friendly and funny - a good thing since we were with them the entire day. The rest of the divers were quite a mix of people including many from Europe. All were serious about scuba.

It was a perfect day. We did three dives along the edge of the barrier reef (second in size only to Australia's Great Barrier Reef). First dive wad to 25m (80 feet) depth, the second to 18m (60') and third to 15m, in clear blue water teeming with fish, plantlife, and us!
