Me too! We went to Calabash Caye on the Turneffe Atoll. It is just about straight east of Belize City and on the way to the Blue Hole. We went to the Blue Hole and the snorkeling/diving was awesome. Perhaps next year. The course name changes to Bio221: Introduction to Marine Biology instead of Bio220: Ecology & Field Biology.
