HOTEL ON FRIDAY OR ARRIVE DIRECTLY ON SATURDAY???

 

From the Dancer's "Know Before You Go" info.... we need to decide if we are going to get hotel rooms the night before or wing it.

 

ARRIVAL (Saturday to Saturday) The Belize Aggressor III and Sun Dancer II operate out of Belize City, Central America. Guests arriving in Belize on Saturday are greeted at the international airport by a crewmember in uniform who will have a “Belize Aggressor III and Sun Dancer II” sign. (transfers are not provided from the Belize City Municipal Airport) Our agent cannot enter Customs but will be just outside the door. Baggage handlers may aggressively offer to help with your luggage those few feet for a mandated per bag fee. Guests will be transported in an air-conditioned van to the yacht. If you are already in Belize, please make your way to the yacht anytime after 3:00 p.m. Both yachts dock at the Radisson Fort George Hotel Dock and depart for the week after everyone is onboard Saturday evening. Airport Arrival into Belize: There are two complimentary transfers provided by the Belize Aggressor III and Sun Dancer II from the airport to Belize City at approximate 12 pm and 4:30 pm which may vary based on the flight arrival times. Most flights arrive around the same time. Guests may have to wait up to one hour for the shuttle; however, they may wait in the airport lounge which has free wi-fi. If guests prefer not to wait, they may take a taxi for approximately $25 to the Radisson Fort George Hotel and wait until boarding time. Airport Departure from Belize: There are two complimentary shuttles from the yachts to the airport, one at 8:30 am from the yacht and 12:30 pm from the Radisson pool area. For guests arriving early in the day, Liveaboard Vacations, www.liveaboardvacations.com can arrange for a private car and driver for the day to meet guests with their luggage at the airport and journey out on a customer private tour to nearby ruins, the local zoo or other activities. In the event you arrive a day late, you can still board the boat by having the yacht agent hire a water taxi to transport you to the Belize Aggressor III or Sun Dancer II. The cost of this service ranges from USD $300 to $600 (cost is determined by the location of the yacht) and is the client’s responsibility.

GREAT NEWS!!!

 

The DiveHeart organization will be taking half the boat to include 1-2 adaptive divers along with enough remaining friends of DiveHeart and able bodied divers to assist the adaptive divers.

 

We are excited to have them joining us! And just so you know the limits that the adaptive divers face include the gambit of challenges such as hearing, sight, missing limbs, wheelchair bound, PTSD, etc. However each challenge is overcome and the diver is free and embodied during the time spent in the water. Its truly an amazing gift the 1-3 able bodied assist divers who are all volunteers give to each adaptive diver. With this type of support team you hardly know the adaptive diver is on the trip let alone in the water. Well not entirely true but they certainly ensure that there is no drain of resources from the rest of the group either above or below. Its an amazing program that I am very excited to be partnered with and I am truly looking forward to having them add so much to our trips!
