Roatan, Honduras

There are still a few spaces left on our Roatan Honduras Vacation.

 

Dive with Roatan's sea turtles, dolphins, tropical fish, eels, sharks, and more as you explore the island's best dive sites with CoCo View. Descend massive thousand-foot coral walls, investigate old wrecks, swim through deep channels and caverns, or visit an eel garden. With well over 150 dive sites around the island, plus CoCo View's own "Front Yard," there's certainly no diving shortage here, and you can visit a new site on each trip out.

Greetings!
 
Just because school is about to start doesn't mean you need to wrap up your diving season. We have several opportunities to keep diving well into winter. The "Advanced Open Water" course at Clear Springs Scuba Park is set for September 15-16. The visibility at Clear Springs is currently 7-10 feet which is practically 7 to 10 feet better than last year at this time. Dive West is also offering a "Stress and Rescue" course the week of October 15, so you still have time to complete the SSI's Master Diver Challenge in 2012. Brandi is leading the willing to defend our Trashfest Championship on October 6th. Join us; we still need a few of members to complete our team. I encourage everyone to get a few more dives in this year to keep your skills sharp!
