Yes and No It Depends on where you are in Belize. For example Belize City has some areas that are very dangerous(mainly the southside of the city) Where the north side is very safe.
No, Belize is a very safe travel destination.
In scuba diving, a pressure group refers to a group of divers who have been exposed to the same pressure conditions during a dive, typically defined by their depth and the duration of their dive. This classification helps in assessing each diver's exposure to nitrogen and the potential risk of decompression sickness. Understanding pressure groups is crucial for planning safe ascent profiles and determining necessary surface intervals before subsequent dives.
Submarine diving after scuba diving is generally considered safe, provided that adequate surface intervals are observed. Divers should allow enough time for nitrogen to dissipate from their bodies after scuba diving, typically at least 24 hours, before ascending to higher pressures in a submarine. It's essential to follow safety protocols and guidelines specific to both activities. Always consult with dive professionals for personalized advice based on your diving history and conditions.
The interesting thing about scuba diving, is legally, there are no licenses or certifications required. The problem arises, however, that while scuba is an extremely safe sport, some training is required to make it safe. And from a liability standpoint, dive shops, and dive resorts will not rent gear, or take people diving unless they can show a scuba license (or C-Card - certification card) from a recognized training agency.You can take classes locally or online that teach scuba diving, and upon graduation from the class, a certification card (which resembles a credit card) with your name, date certified, etc is given. That card will be required in most any location in order to dive.There are different levels of certification, Open Water Scuba Diver, Advanced Scuba Diver, Rescue Diver, Divemaster, Instructor, etc, and by taking additional classes, someone can gather more experience, education and certifications.Beyond recreational diving, there are courses for technical diving including deep, mixed gas, cave diving, etc, and there are also commercial dive courses covering everything from underwater welding, inspection, etc.
Yes, many scuba divers can dive up to 100 feet, provided they have the appropriate training, experience, and equipment. Recreational divers often limit their dives to 60-80 feet for safety, but advanced divers, including those with specialized training, can explore depths of 100 feet or more. It is crucial to follow safe diving practices and adhere to no-decompression limits to avoid risks such as decompression sickness.
There are a lot of places in order for one to find out if it is safe to travel to Belize. However, it is strongly suggested that one should check out the information about accidents, crime on the main website of Belize.
Yes, it is safe. You should remember not to bring anything from Belize that can land you in jail (ie: weapons, ammunition, drugs).
