SPLASH PARTNERS WITH THE BELIZE SISTER REEF PROJECT

It is not often that a new sustainable tourism campaign surges, but when it does, Splash Dive Center is sure to be part of it.

The Sister Reef Project is a fundraiser powered by the people of Belize with proceeds supporting the World Wildlife Fund. Because Belize wants to remain the second greatest barrier reef in the world, we’ll share all proceeds with our sister reef, The Great Barrier Reef. Funds will be used to help restore and protect each barrier reef against future damage. When the reefs are better we are all better!

What better way to protect the reef and […]

Thomas Ramos along with Pataleon Hernandez and Domingo Ventura spoke freely and successfully petitioned for the government […]

Falling in ‘Love with a Belize Honeymoon’!

Little did I know that twenty years later I would be returning to the tiny paradise were Mark (my husband) and I spent our Belize honeymoon.  Despite the many changes I see now, mostly for the better, I still remember my first trip back in 1992 as if though it was merely a year ago.  We spent most of that one week vacation in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye at Victoria House.  The entire experience was magical. Coming from Chicago, a honeymoon in the tropics is quite a treat.
