Starting many moons ago as boat boy in the Bay Islands of Honduras, a rare combination of hard work, intelligence, and good fortune have taken Peter Hughes to the highest echelons of diving. His reknown began with the superior level of service provided by the dive operation he developed at Flamingo Beach Resort in Bonaire. Now, decades later, in addition to operating top notch land based diving operations throughout the Caribbean, Peter Hughes Diving offers a selection of excellent live-aboard dive vessels operating around the world.
Fuel Surcharge -- Depending upon prevailing costs, Peter Hughes Diving may require payment of a fuel surcharge in addition to the base per person cruise pricing. This surcharge varies based on booking date and destination.
Select from these world-class live-aboard options:
Belize is located on the Yucatan Peninsula approximately 250 miles south of Cancun. It borders Mexico to the north, Guatemala to the west and south, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. There are three atolls located offshore beyond the main barrier reef. The most famous of the atolls is Lighthouse Reef, which is the location of the Blue Hole and the magnificent nature preserve at Half Moon Cay. A guided dive of the famous Blue Hole is planned weekly, followed by a shore excursion with a picnic lunch on Half Moon Cay. Lighthouse Reef and Glover's Reef boast much of the best diving in Belize where visibility can exceed 120', with annual water temperature ranging from 78-84 degrees f. You can expect to see everything from a panoply of macro critters inhabiting the lush coral formations to eagle rays, manta rays, turtles, tarpon, and dolphin.
