Travel Tips for Belize
Travellers should exercise caution and good judgment when visiting Belize as crime can be a serious problem. Public buses and taxis are frequently in poor condition and lack safety equipment. Medical care is limited as well as emergency response services such as ambulances or paramedics may be either unavailable or limited in capability or equipment.
Water taxis often do not carry sufficient safety equipment and may carry an excess number of passengers together with sailing in inclement weather. Rental diving equipment may not always be properly maintained or inspected, and some local dive masters fail to consider the skill levels of individual tourists when organizing dives to some of Belize’s more challenging sites.
