Saba
|
February 20 - 27, 2010
|
|
Rising steeply from the Caribbean Sea, Saba is a special
island that takes you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
|
Four small villages are as quaint and charming as the people that you will meet.
Saba is a monument to nature's best above and below the ocean's surface.
The famous Marine park is second to none.
Lava tunnels and hot springs remind
divers of the dramatic volcanic beginnings of the island. The small leeward
side hosts spur and grove reef formations but it is her pinnacles that have
made Saba famous. The pinnacles are actually the summits of underwater mountains,
beginning at around 85° and extending deep into the abyss. They are awesomely
impressive, not only to divers but apparently to the larger fish and pelagics
that are frequent visitors.

One of the Top Diving Destinations!
|
When the top destinations for scuba diving are discussed, Belize is always near the
top of the list. One of the smallest countries in Central America, Belize has the
second largest barrier reef in the world running along its coast. That's 180 miles
of reefs, walls and all around great diving.
Most of the dive action centers around Ambergris Caye (pronounced key) and the
town of San Pedro. 25 miles long but only 1 mile wide, Ambergris is the largest
of Belize's offshore islands and home to Hol Chan Marine Preserve. San Pedro
offers the best of the Caribbean, a small town with interesting and varied shops
and restaurants with sandy streets but no cruise ships.
We will be staying and diving with
Ramon's Village. Ramon's is right on the beach
with authentic thatched roof cabanas, tropical lagoon-style pool, fabulous
restaurant and the world-famous Purple Parrot Restaurant and Bar. The diving will
center around sites just off shore from San Pedro on the barrier reef. A night
dive and a 3 tank day trip to the famous Blue Hole will be arranged and will cost
a little extra.
|
Cost - $2200*
Includes roundtrip airfare to Belize City with connection to San Pedro, transfers,
lodging, 6 days of 2 tank dives, breakfast daily, pre and post trip parties, T-shirt
