"Now that the BPA is stationed on the island hopefully things will change.
What do they do?
We are just "dumb tourists" (the airlines will give you more tourists, so we are replaceable) - we visited recently, we have friends who are permanent residents.
Our party of 4 adults has a large amount of marine experience in power and sail and were really concerned by some of the (to us) at least 4 instances in a week, of dangerous boat operation by the water taxis and "tour " operators we saw.
we will not return to Belize because of it.
Some folks may say "Yeah!!", less tourists- I understand - my home town is overrun by tourists twice a year. So whatever size tourism you want is ok by me. I just dont want to get killed just yet- too many other caribbean places I can go to or go back to.
