Travelogue Belize 2002
Diving on Caye Caulker – Belize Zoo
May 4th, 2002
Dear Friends,
It’s been a long time since I have been scuba diving, strictly speaking much too long but it felt natural right from the first second. Now I got five more dives in my log book and saw a lot of things. Most fascinating for me were the giant underwater stalactites in the Blue Hole, we went down some 140 ft. To be honest it is not as deep as I wrote before, only some 500 ft, but that’s much more than a normal human can dive. I saw nice things but still nothing could beat cuddling the nurse sharks.
So I went on, first water taxi in the morning, normal taxi again, bus and (I missed that one before) visiting the beautiful Belize Zoo. It is small, lots of jungle vegetation, no animals were captured for the zoo, they got there wounded or were born in the zoo … I shot a whole film of slides.
