Steel, let me attempt to pursuade you out of diving the blue hole in Belize. It is a 5 hour boat ride, you get there and there's NOTHING except a big punchbowl. There is a dropoff wall but with very little growth on it. You'll hit about 140-150 feet and just sit there asking yourself wtf am I doing down here...there's nothing to see. If you're very lucky you'll see some hammer heads below you at about 220 feet...no big deal.
Save your mony...it's a huge ripoff.
Belize is a 5 on scale of 1-10 on the inner reefs. There's trash all over the shoreline and the water is green, smelly and polluted with diesel fuel. Lots of thugs hanging around selling drugs and whatever else.

Before: A shark attacks and kills a person on a diving expedition near the Bahamas and leaves a lot of questions about what actually went unanswered. The diver, 49-year-old Marcus Groh of Vienna, Austria, was bitten in the leg, but later died at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.
Updated: An Austrian tourist died Monday after being bitten by a shark while diving near the Bahamas in waters that had been baited with bloody fish parts to attract the predators.
Markus Groh, 49, a Vienna lawyer and diving enthusiast, was on a commercial dive trip Sunday when he was bitten about 50 miles off the coast of Fort Lauderdale, said Karlick Arthur, Austrian counsel general in Miami, Florida.

Few shark dives (without a cage) Ive gone on the company did not bait at all.They made sure to let you know they believed baiting was wrong.
However looking back they were still putting customers in danger knowing other places supplied in certain areas.
The sharks still showed up though, apparently the way I understand it, figuring there was the chance you would have food because some of the other businesses used bait.Once the sharks, mostly reef sharks, black tips, realized there werent any free meal's,they would disappear one at a time just like when they showed up.
Guess now looking back, it wasn't a very smart thing to do but truly was an excellent trip.
This guy either did not comprehend, missed out on the briefing, or just didnt care.
