Belize

In Belize, gestures play an important role in communication and are often linked to cultural norms. A common gesture is the "thumbs up," which signifies approval or agreement. However, it's important to be cautious with gestures, as some may have different meanings across cultures. Additionally, maintaining eye contact is generally seen as a sign of respect and attentiveness during conversations.

Belize is located between Mexico and Honduras and Guatemala is located to the West of Belize as well.

The Blue Hole was caused by the roof of an underwater cave collapsing. The water surrounding the opening is relatively shallow, but the floor of the cave is over 400 feet deep. A typical dive starts by descending along the wall of the collapse to a depth of about 130 feet where you can then swim around the stalactites hanging from what was the ceiling of a once dry cave. The stalactites are huge, but relatively unimpressive, and the depth means you spend your time plastered to the ceiling. Gray rock with little natural light and no coral (not enough water movement) makes this a been-there-done-that dive in my book.

Bottom time goes fast as does your air at this depth, so back up past more boring rock until you reach the sandy bowl of the crater's bottom to finish your safety stop. If you go to Belize to go diving, you almost have to dive the Blue Hole, but if you're like me, it won't be on your "must do again" list.

Has an English historical influence, which gives a language advantage to potential tourists. It is Hurricane prone area.
