A Day Out on Ambergris Caye, Belize

Image
      Who says you need a sunny day to enjoy a day out on the water...? The past week here on Ambergris Caye has had its share of gloomy, rainy days, but that shouldn't stop you from having some fun on the water. Sure you might not get a tan, but you can still have a great day of fishing adventures, snorkel around the world's second largest barrier reef...or just get crazy and jump off a pier....        We started the day wondering what we should do...My son who loves fishing suggested we go out and have some fun...Who could argue with that!

Belize Made The List! - 6 Amazing Places to Scuba Dive Around the World "Travel Pulse"

6 Amazing Places to Scuba Dive Around the World I’ve heard it said that scuba diving is as close as most of us will ever come to experiencing outer space. I believe it. Descending down into the depths of the ocean, where all becomes quiet and weightless, and a whole new world of discoveries become possible, life always seems to fall back into place. Never am I so reminded about how small a piece of this world I occupy, and of how many awe-inspiring corners of the Earth there are left for me to explore. I first started scuba diving because of my unwavering wanderlust. Not only did I want to experience what was above ground, I wanted to get to know what thrived beneath it, too. (I attribute it to too many hours spent watching  The Little Mermaid  as a child.) Nonetheless, getting my scuba diving certification has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. No matter how many times I go underwater, I am always left captivated by the experience.  PHOTO: Goin...
