Belize Rodale's July issue

Great article on Ambergris Caye in July's Rodale's magazine. Describes
going to San Pedro for lunch
by water taxi and seeing Golf Carts as main method of transportation.
Describes his 5 days of
non stop activiities, including spending 2 hours watching lizards and
drinking cocktails. My kind of
vacation.

Do you go on vacation to dive? And did the article mention the rampant
power outages? (moral: long burning candles are good, long life LED
flashlight would have been better).

It was, after all, Rodales, Jason.

Diving was mentioned, as was something like LED flashlights.

There were advertisers to "grease", after all.

Ambergis Caye was nice 15 years ago, but those days you weren't so
sure if the chicken was iguana. It tasted pretty good nevertheless. The
diving was better, too.

Now, to find that, we must go to places that don't advertise in
Rodales... yet. I'm sure that Doc Vikingo and Ben Davison will show us
the light and the way.

What places don't advertise? We have been diving every year since 1990.
What have we missed(i.e., in the caribbean)?
Keys, Bermuda, Bonaire, Honduras, Curacao, Barbados, Cozumel, Saba,
Caymans, they all advertise ?

Your (i.e. in the caribbean) says it all.

The places that aren't in the splashy featured editorials. One begets
the other, guess which comes first?

Be sure to read Blundercurrent, as well. It's most enlightening.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the Ambergris- and Rodales-trashing
that these guys have thrown at you. I happen to like Ambegris. In fact, if
you read enough of their posts, you get the impression that Coco View is the
be-all and end-all of diving destinations. Kinda bigoted view if you ask me.
Besides, that way they hail Roatan, they might as well advertise in Rodales.
They are probably reaching more readers here that at Rodales. Hey, maybe
they're in the Coco View expense ledger. Cheap, and I mean C-H-E-A-P,
advertising:)

All kinds of places don't advertise or advertise very little so few folks don't
know much about them. How about St. Eustatius for openers?
