Comments	Cpt Morgan's retreat on Ambergris Caye was a nice, friendly place, but greatly overpriced. The online booking agency in the States takes a huge percentage, so if you are planning to head down there, call the resorts directly. You can save $50-60 per night. Bring lots of deep woods OFF or your favorite repellent. Patojo was one of the best dive masters I have ever met. He and his staff had excellent dive briefings, were very attentive both above and below water, and always had time between dives for a story or three. I highly recommend Patojo as your dive operator regardless of where you stay on Ambergris Caye. Blue hole was worth a visit. You head out for about 1-1.5 hours from Ambergris to get to the site. It was a deep dive with lots of sharks, and there were two wall dives afterwards on the trip back.
