The BLUE hole, Belize
Promise promise last post of Scuba :) 

The Great Blue Hole is a large underwater sinkhole off the coast of Belize 
Once a dry cave system, the Blue Hole was formed after the last ice age, when the Caribbean Sea engulfed the entire area and the cave's roof collapsed. The resulting sinkhole is more than 400 feet deep, 1,000 feet in diameter--and a mainstay on divers' wish lists.

Before we even get into the water we saw shark fins circling the boat, "Jaws" flash backs came catapulting through my head and fear immediately took over my body.

I let about 6 divers get into the water before I dared get off the boat. Once into the water and was able to see the sharks just chillen my nerves calmed down (not enough to leave Mikes side the whole dive but enough to get through it and enjoy it).

   
Once we started going down it got darker and darker at some moments it was hard to see your hand in front of your face.  
 

Under the cave shelf we go

Second dive, the Light House.



Some of the colors under water and so vibrant

If there was reincarnation, Mike and I would want to be mer - man/maids.  We are in love with the water!

Yum this guy looked delicious to eat, crab legs and butter :)

Third dive, Wall Dive.

Eagle Rays are one of the most magnificent animals in the water, full of grace, and stunningly beautiful!

My favorite little puffers :)

Half Moon Bay for lunch

We got to go explore the island where we found this gigantic iguanas

We also got to meed the Red footed Booby Bird (funny name lol), it was egg laying season while we were there and so there were thousands of these birds guarding their nests

On the boat ride home we got treated to an amazing display of dolphins doing there thing. 

I LOVE dolphins!!! 

This for me made the entire dive trip!

Beautiful sunset ride home :)

Belize city = Gross, avoid at all costs!

Caye Caulker, island off of Believe = Paradise!

Sorry for all you folks who are sick of our diving adventures and pictures, we are just some obsessed  ocean lovers.

Oh how I wish I was a mermaid so I could stay underwater

Awesome snorkel tour with our mates, Katie and Rob (yep same couple we did the sailing trip with from Columbia to Panama) we ran into them again in Caye Caulker :)

Isn't he just the most adorable thing you have ever seen!

This is where the legend of the mermaid comes from,the sea cow. Can you see his mermaid like tail? They are graceful slow moving swimmers that unfortunately are in great danger of becoming extinct, PLEASE help stop pollution! 

*how you can help: when visiting the ocean pick up any trash you see in the water
