Comments	This was my first live-a-board experience and I found it to be overall a good one. Things ran smoothly from the pick-up at the airport to the drop off at the end of the week. The boat was in good condition with the rooms being kept clean and beds made daily throug-out the week. I found plenty of room on-board to move about during surface intervals.The meals were varied and the food was very good. Breakfst and dinner were served by the crew with lunch being buffet style. Breakfst was cooked to order and on two nights we were given a choice of what we would like for dinner. My only complaint as far as food was that there were no dives prior to breakfast and the night dive was after dinner. Wine was served at dinner each night so if you were diving,you could not partake. The diving was varied. This was my first trip to Belize and tropical diving. On my first few dives I found the creatures to be exciting and stunningly beautiful,but by the end of the week I felt like I had seen them all and was ready to move on.I really can not say as to the condition of the reefs but in my opinion the coral appeared healthy and life around them abundant. I found myself getting bored with the diving by the middle of the week but changed dive buddies and was introduced to a whole different world of diving,taking time to slow down and take a closer look at he macro life.The crew were friendly and helpful when asked for assistance but I observed that they did not go out of their way to do anything extra for the folks on the boat(I asked several others their opinion on this and recieved the same responses) Safety on the boat was good with a fire drill being done by us all and a nightly watch posted. I would definitely go on another Peter Hughes boat although I can't say that I would return to Belize
