Comments	After returning to Roatan for a warmup dive, prepping for another trip, I was shocked by the changes in the reef. Sad, so very sad. Massive bleaching, algae everywhere. It is clear the reef is dying - excessive building without proper infrastructure to control untreated dumping into the ocean. I was also shocked by a lack of effort to try and restore this once vibrant area. Better news- Coco View is an excellent facility with excellent people. I would trust my grandchildren to dive easily here. They are exceptionally organized – well done! I think Coco View focuses on the less traveled divers taking out groups as large as 13 with a single dive guide. We had to ask where the oxygen, fire extinguisher and first aid kits were and were never shown any. With this many folks on a boat and only a dive guide and vessel captain, there is no room for error. One of the vessels while we were there was involved in an incident where a diver got stung by a lionfish, but they seemed to have handled it without disrupting the other divers. Note – if you are expecting normal 2- tank boat dives in a day each in the morning and afternoon, you will be disappointed. 1 Boat tank dive per trip is the norm. They “let” you dive all you want in the dead reef they call the front-yard. Tipping was an irritation. With the price of things, I was taken back for the request of another 15% per person in our party in tips – NOT including vessel crew!

The corals looked reasonable in Dec. 2024 but the vis was not great. Chimney was a great dive, I to was sort of taken back by the tipping request but the guys did a great job typ. so I manned up. as a solo in a 2 bed Ocean front 2nd level room 19 I paid about $2400 plus tip I seem to recall. Other double occup. paid about $1895 base (alcohol extra)
