Comments Diving conditions were great...calm seas, light currents, and good visibility. Unfortunately the corals are covered in algae and the colors are gone. This has also driven away most of the fish below about 30-35 feet. Because of this most dives averaged 35 feet or so, allowing for 60 minute dives most of the time. Fish life at shallower dives was pretty good.

Roatan Divers is a tremendous operation. They have four smaller boats, all with twin 200 horsepower engines This makes for very short rides to any dive site. Never more than six divers on a boat. They go out for three dives every day, and two night dives a week. The small groups are organized for similar ability levels. All the divemasters know the area well and very good.

The rental house, Agua Arie, is very nice, and a two minute walk from the dive shop. It can be rented as a one, two, or three bedroom. The main street is a 5 minute walk. There is a market and dozens of restaurants a short walk. One of our group was a non-diver and throughly enjoyed hanging all day at the house.
