Dear All,
Belize has received a proposal from a company planning to conduct reef tours
via submarine. I have found a variety of tourist information about similar
ventures in the Caribbean, but have not found any information regarding
resulting reef damages. Hopefully, this is a safe way to view the reef from
a respectable distance (assuming there is a good pilot!).

If anyone has experiences - good or bad - with this type of tourism please
send me an update.

Regards,
