The ship really talked up how dangerous Belize can be and how we will see machine guns and all this stuff and to be very careful. It was suggested that if we decide to do any excursion from carnival that this would be the best place to do it. Since we did not really know how a tender worked from the ship anyhow we decided to do an excursion through our cruise line. We went snorkeling at Goff's Cay. 
It was way worth it - we took the boat out to this reef which is the 2nd largest Barrier Reef in the world. It was some pretty good snorkeling. We actually had good weather. The water was not too cold and although the waves were sometimes big, it was pretty easy snorkeling. After about 45 minutes in the deep about 10-16 feet we went over to the shore for more snorkeling. 
Goff's Cay is a super small island - more like a sand bar with some trees on it. They caught these lobsters fresh and grilled them up.
We bought 2 lobster tail for $10 - you can't beat that. They were good!
There were conch all over the place. This is one that one of the locals was helping me to clean up. I still have some more work. The key now is to use bleach and a brush. We used sand and a peice of rock to get all of the gunk off it.
A lady there was dying to braid my hair. I didn't want my whole head braided - this was the perfect amount for me.
See how tiny the island is?
Everyone else enjoyed terrible weather on shore. We did head over to shore but it was raining a lot and the place was so crowded. We ended up eating at a restaraunt with the most terrible service ever!
This is a couple Michael and Miranda that we met from our ship and our excursion. Miranda actually is a member of the church too - go figure - a returned missionary even. We both had Miami Vice (virgin of course).
