It was an eventful week at Splash Dive Center, as we prepared to celebrate PADI Women Dive Day. Quality and Safety has always been a part of all our services; that has changed a bit due Covid-19 as we now include Health with Quality and Safety!

We began the week by disinfecting and preparing the dive center, the shuttle, the equipment and boats. We set strategic sanitation stations, sneeze guards, social distance markers, social distance seating arrangements, and used an infrared thermometer to check guests and crew temperatures.  Splash is full on for adding health to our quality and safety standards.

Belize is down to less than one hundred active covid-19 cases.  It is time to visit nearly COVID-19 free Belize!  Covid-19 has been nearly brought under control by wearing masks, social distancing, washing hands and keeping the bars closed (you can still get a drink in the restaurants).  Vaccinations have now started so we are hoping that the number of active cases will continue to drop.

Lionfish are an invasive species that were most likely introduced from aquarium releases, aquariums damaged by hurricanes for example.  They are […]

Belize had covid-1919 under control until late last week.  Unfortunately, there has been a surge in covid-19 cases over the past few days.  Ambergris Caye and three villages in Orange Walk District are now under quarantine – no one is allowed in or out.
