Afternoon dive here because conditions too choppy outside of reef. Didn't go out in the morning also because surf too strong to exit the channel. Saw at least 4 huge green morays. On return over grassy shallows, a large barracuda + a moray staring each other down. Very cool. Snorkeled w/ nurse sharks and stingrays after the dive. |

Night dive; enjoyed it more than the last time here due to great dive master. Dive is very shallow though, always having to watch buoyancy is a bit of a hassle. Lots to see: 2 small octopi, roaming lobster, 2 crabs, large stingrays (~3-4), tarpon feeding!, sleeping parrotfish, conches, small shrimp. NOTE: see previous Hol Chan post for a freedraw map of the dive site. |

Awesome drop right into schools of nurse sharks. Sharks were around 4-5' length. A large grouper also hangs out there. At 65' depth, there is an impressive tunnel to swim through. |

Ambergris is really not an ideal place for windsurfing, because the wind blows from the wrong direction and is gusty. Also not very all that pretty from the beaches there, although there's a lot of rentals available. |
