Wild - Mexico & Belize

The long answer:  The world's wildlife & best diving destinations are often expensive because of strict government controls, high park fees & complex logistics.  Amongst other things, it also depends on accommodation quality, location & exclusivity; what type of vehicles are used; whether you're flying around a lot; and how many days you spend in-country. 

Whatever your budget, we will recommend the best possible diving adventure to suit you.

Accommodation & responsible travel

We are strongly committed to the principles of responsible travel, and therefore recommend accommodations that are trying to do the right thing - by the environment, their staff & local communities, and their guests!  Environmental initiatives include using renewable energy such as solar power, using low-impact structures, reducing waste, and recycling wherever possible.  They support their local communities by providing employment as well as educational, medical, and other support; some even include profit-share arrangements. Many have, or support, anti-poaching units to de-snare and protect the wilderness areas within which they operate.

Great, so what's the difference between a luxury vacation and an even more luxurious or exclusive one?

We clearly explain what's included & what's not:

Inclusions: All your accommodation, some or most meals depending on level of accommodation chosen, up to 6 dives in Mexico and up to 8 dives in Belize, tanks & weights included, all airport transfers, transfer Playa del Carmen to Belize City, water taxi if required, all marine park & conservation fees.

All government taxes, fuel surcharges, marine park & conservation entrance fees are included and correct as at date of quote. However they are subject to government & local authority imposed changes, often without notice (!) and therefore beyond our control. We will always endeavour to minimise their impact and inform you if a supplement is required.

Exclusions: International airfares to & from your chosen destination. Visa fees, personal & travel insurance, dive gear unless specified, excursions not specified, drinks or meals unless specified, laundry, telephone or internet costs, gratuities, and all other personal expenses. Some airports now charge safety fees, which are payable directly at each airport upon departure.

Additional things to consider: Busy times of the year normally have a supplement added by the accommodation providers - Easter, Xmas & New Year holidays. These will be included in our costs - so no surprises when you get there!

There are two main seasons in this region: the dry 'winter' season, and the wet summer season. Both seasons have their advantages & disadvantages. It can still rain in either season - and the 'wet' season usually has sunny days with afternoon downpours. Water temperatures are always relatively warm, and generally vary from 24C - 28C (75 - 82F). The fresh surface waters of the cenotes vary little from 24C (75F) year-round, although the denser bottom layer of saltwater will vary with season.

If you're constrained to travelling at a particular time, don't worry: we'll recommend the best diving locations to visit at that time.  

If you have specific interests - such as seeing & snorkelling with whale sharks - then you do need to travel at the right time of year, AND to the right area.
