OMG what a chancer. Fining someone that has put so much misery into so many lives is not enough.

I thought he was long out of business, but I could be wrong.

Here's the really sad part. He was a dangerous operator from the day he opened. Incidents were common place before the ones noted in the article.

The original post was Jan 3 of 2005. He could have been shut down long before someone died.

As a retired Dive shop and resort owner in Belize who knows the waters and conditions, its even more tragic that if they had stayed on the boat the wind would of eventually put them on land as there is always and onshore breeze 99% of the time blowing so while they may of been drifting out eventually the wind would of took over and pushed them back to shore.

really tragic but thankfully Belize has come a long way since then and has quite strict enforcement now with captain licenses (not like the US) tour guide licenses and even has a coast guard now, of course that does not help the lost souls but at least it might prevent it happening again.
