Comments	This was a trip put together by Y-Kiki Divers in St. Louis, MO, a shop we have been with on many trips. We took this one only to keep up our skills in preparation for other upcoming (but later cancelled due to Covid) trips to more interesting places outside the Caribbean. This was my wife's second trip to Roatan and my third. The diving here was about what we expected for Caribbean diving. The resort is okay but nothing fancy. All meals are buffet style and there were plenty of options to satisfy both my wife, a very health-conscious eater, and me, a vegetarian. By and large, the resort staff were all very friendly and hard-working. The rooms were okay, although nothing fancy. Not really set up for divers. There were gear lockers near the dive area but in my opinion they were rather small and nothing in them dried much at all. Dive boats are quite roomy and well-equipped, although in my opinion they could have used a third crew member on the boats. One thing the resort did that was a bit of an inconvenience was that during the day they accepted folks from cruise ships who would pretty much take over the beach and pool areas. This was not a problem for us but anyone in our group who wanted to use those areas had to contend with a lot of other bodies.
