Anse Chastanet, our host hotel, is nestled in the middle of 400 acres on a breathtaking hillside with a fabulous view of the Pitons.

Belize - Sun Dancer II - Sorry SOLD OUT
April - 14 - 21, 2012
Diver Package Price - $1995.00
$700.00 non refundable deposit will reserve your space

Belize is home to the world's second largest barrier reef, a massive Blue Hole and three of the only four true coral atolls found in the hemisphere. Sun Dancer II specializes in the best diving the country has to offer, the walls of Lighthouse Reef Atoll, the outermost reef in Belize. They have had a live aboard in Belize since February 1992. The diversity of the diving will amaze you. Underwater Belize offers a combination of reefs blanketed with coral and sponge growth and walls beginning as shallow as 20-40 feet.

The marine life that inhabits the barrier reef is extraordinary and diverse…everything from schools of tarpon, turtles and stingrays to a wide variety of tropical species, and of course, the famed Blue Hole. No matter how many times you dive this vertical cavern you'll never tire of it, the sheer size of it still boggles my mind. Perfectly round and 1,000 feet in diameter, the site has a maximum depth of 412 feet but you don't need to go deeper than 130 to explore the mouth of a cave that is filled with rows of stalactites and stalagmites. Diving the Blue Hole is one of the sport's "do it before you die" experiences, and just one more reason to come visit us in Belize.

Cayman Brac is the middle sister of the three Cayman Islands. It is a coral island surrounded by reef with a population of about 1200 residents. It has changed very little since it was discovered in 1503 by Christopher Columbus. Despite its history of pirate adventure and hidden treasure, it remains a peaceful quiet hideaway not only for divers and snorkelers, but also for sports fishermen, bird watchers, rock climbers, and those who just want to relax.  The Brac retains the distinct charm of the Caribbean of many years ago. Gingerbread details on pastel colored houses are the creations of local carpenters trained as woodcraft artists for shipbuilding. The quiet of the streets is broken only by friendly greetings and welcomes for visiting tourists on their Cayman Vacation. On the bluff, cattle are tended and locals utilize the land for vegetable crops. Hikers will find unlimited areas to explore. The natural vegetation of the island includes many tropical plants and fruit trees - mango and papaya - as well as beautiful wild orchids. Rated as a premier worldwide diving destination by leading dive magazines, Cayman Brac is recognized for the unspoiled natural beauty of its spectacular marine environment. Much of its coral reef has been protected for future generations to enjoy by its designation as a marine park by the Cayman Marine Conservation Laws.

Borneo, the third largest island in the world, was once covered with dense rainforests. With swampy coastal areas fringed with mangrove forests and a mountainous interior, much of the terrain was virtually impassable and unexplored. Headhunters ruled the remote parts of the island until a century ago. Borneo's forests are some of the most biodiverse on the planet.

Surveys have found more than 700 species of trees in a 10 hectare plot -a number equal to the total number of species in Canada and the United States combined.
