I love diving (will be in Belize diving this Xmas)[/quote]
I spent three years in Central America during the 1980s when I was in the Army. It was a fairly crappy gig, but I did have some great diving opportunities, including Belize.
If you have a chance, hit Turneffe Atoll, Lighthouse Atoll and Ambergris Caye (home of the Great Blue Hole). I dove there with another Ranger and a pair of Navy SEALs back in the day, and it was a friggin’ blast.
The profusion of marine life is incredible, especially the rays, eels and sharks.
I hear you about the expense of sky diving. If they ever offer private HALO jumps, I’d go in a heartbeat. I did a half dozen of those while in the Army, and the experience was incredible.
