98% DEET, which i'm sure is just great to be absorbing through our skin...............

thanks ron,

Coconut Tree is on our short list  that is the kind of boat that we like...........we also enjoy, meeting other people as long as the diving is not TOO crowded..............

we plan on using our first full day on the island just driving around, getting the lay of the land, and visiting with dive operations/people...............we want to try and hit the west, north, and south side..............and we are STILL determined to find someone who will rent us some tanks so that we can dive from our back door........

[/size]

are y'all back yet??? if so, how about sharing your adventure..........

i've been doing some research about safety issues on roatan, and figgered that getting peoples thought here would be beneficial.


so, how safe is it gonna be for us to drive around the island??

are there places that we shouldn't go to ??

how about walking around different towns??? i read that it is not safe to walk aroun coxen hole after dark?


are there really police checkpoints on the roads and do we have to worry about fake checkpoints??

any advice would be greatly appreciated

i don't really feel comfortable about posting our exact house location .........but we are supposed to have internet access........so i'll try and keep y'all updated as things happen.......

welp, we now have our house reserved, right on water on the south side............getting kinda excited......

we will be only diving no classes, that would be too much like work  we want to do 3-4 days on the south side and 3-4 days on the west/north.............

at this point we are probably going to be staying on the south side....hopefully we will get a house right on the water and be able to rent some tanks and dive a couple days right from there

the research wall is getting pretty covered with post-its 

we bought our plane tickets today..............will be in roatan from may 5th til the 19th.....

still working on a places to live and who to dive with   

that is SWEET..... ..........i really like the way that the dolphins and turtle are incorporated......very original

please make sure to post details of your trip on the forum, i assume y'all are divers because of the ink.......what operators will you be diving with???


we should be arriving early may.........

should we drink only bottled water while on the island? how about for cooking ?

we're coming in from baltimore.................and just chillen sounds nice 

nope, since we are going to be on the island for 2 weeks and only going to dive for 8 days or so, we are going to use our first day there to visit various dive operations.

we'd like to do two dives before lunch and then have the rest of the day to tour the island.

we also like to be on bigger boats, that stay out between dives, as compared to coming back in and going back out, because we like just hanging out on the boat between dives, or moving from one location to the other............

we are tentitve to arrive may 5th, but have not bought the ticklets yet
