Rare crewsweeper Posted January 10, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Can't opine on recent use but back in the aughts and teens they were operating out of the tender pier and their Shark Ray Alley to Caye Caulker was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elklemi Posted February 7, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Have been with them twice to Caulker and was impressed with how they run their trip. Caye Caulkeer is a special place and glad I got to experience the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like this is a thing for these excursions. I understand they are liable but I also note the guides don't wear life vests which takes the current argument out as if its unsafe, all should wear them. My husband and I have had this argument with operators especially when we see the guides without them in other areas and now we check before we book. So Im going to skip this one and save some money. Thanks for replying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes sense?! it does. But we like diving down to look at stuff plus my husband does free diving and the lifejackets prevent this. It's ok. We will snorkel elsewhere. Plenty of other stuff to do. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baronessk Posted August 23, 2023 #10 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Did you ever find a place to snorkel in Belize WITHOUT the life vest for free diving? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember researching about life jackets and every tour stated a life jacket was mandatory. I thought oh fine we will play along. Let me tell you, you’ll be pleased you have it. Where they stop the boats for the sharks and rays the current was very strong. To mosey along snorkeling you would quickly find yourself far from the boat. Once you go to the coral it gets even tougher. Full grown fit men were getting back in the boat like they had just completed a marathon.

Thanks. they let my husband use his weight vest as a "life jacket". I tied my life jacket on my foot. We had zero issues swimming and we are 58 and 59. We were with a guide along with a couple of others and were breathing fine once we got back on the boat. They split the groups up so that the more advanced swimmers/snorkelers were together. And this surprisingly was a ship excursion. Granted husband is a triathlete and I run and hike a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
