And in April, we told you that San Pedro Belize Express had a major mishap in which hundreds of their customers were plunged into the sea when their pier broke down.
Well, being out there on the island ourselves, we got an first-hand experience of how. You see, the last boat back to Belize City - which is where most of the visitors were heading - leaves at 5 o'clock.
Now, everybody is partying and having a good time, and then, everybody wants to take that last boat. The trouble is that it becomes a big push to get on the boat. It happened again this weekend where the crowd who wanted to leave the island started to behave mob-like pushing each other in an almost panicked attempt to get to the front.
Add alcohol to the mix, and it makes for a volatile situation to escalate very easily. The boats had to be delayed for at least half hour before everybody could get on.
