Our galley along with our own gourmet chef are designed and finely tuned to produce truly delectable treats in limitless supply.
- The

find sunbathing, lively dive discussions or
simply relaxing with a cool tropical drink is the pleasure of choice.
Everyone is invited to partake in our daily "open-air"
BBQ lunches.

- At Hooked On Diving, our goal is to preserve the Belizean environment and coral reefs in as close their present pristine condition as possible. This is to ensure that future visitors to this garden paradise will witness the beauty that we see today. Therefore, in hope of running a "Green Dive Operation" (zero trace diving), we have equipped our ship with a full sewage treatment and sanitation system. We also have restricted ourselves to the use of only environmentally friendly soaps, shampoo, and detergents. Please help us keep our environment clean.
