Scenery, including Blue Hole & Lighthouse Reef

We were excited to be going to the Lighthouse Reef, Blue Hole and Half Moon Caye! It was ~ 90 minutes east of the Oceanic Field station.
It was a gorgeous day and Captain Kent was at the helm, assisted by Richard, John & Alton.

Incredible white sandy beaches, not a piece of litter to be found. It cost $40.00 pp to enjoy the park.
