Dennis Jackson says: The entire family took up SCUBA diving last year. We got our open water and then advanced SCUBA certification in San Carlos, Mexico, which has limited visibility. We wanted to see what world class diving was like, so we headed to Belize, Central America, in May. The world's second largest reef is located 30 minutes by boat off their shore. The sea life is abundant with 100 foot plus visibility. This is Dangriga International Airport, Belize, Central America.
Welcoming committee. Banana plantation in the background.
Three generations ready for dive and jungle adventures.
Miles and miles of empty pristine beaches.
Hamanasi resort was booked full, but that meant 46 guests total between tree houses and ocean view suites. We always had the beach to ourselves.
Last minute instructions from the dive master before heading to the reef.
Off I go.
Kay and I along the wall on our way to 70 foot depth.
The diving was great with lots of sea life like this spotted eel.
These four foot wide Giant Eagle Rays were impressive. We also saw a 10 foot Bull Shark that we did not get a photo of.

Kay and the rest of the family, minus coward Dennis, tried sky diving during the winter. Kay and jump master 13,000 feet above the Arizona desert.
Super woman. One mile freefall before pulling the rip cord.
Always nice when the chute opens...8,000 feet. Pictures taken by a pro photographer that jumps with you. They shoot a video at the same time with a helmet camera.
