Hello Scubanimal (love the name!)
I was originally supposed to go to Coco View with a group that I met from here a year ago when we went to coz during the week that you were at FI, but....it was over Mother's Day, so I had to delay my trip a week. Just as well, for FI happened to be a couple hundred dollars cheaper, and I was very happy with the whole experience. I loved diving from the Gazeebo, following the 'trail' to the plane, then to the wreck, following the trail up the Coco View side, then diving their wall. Absolutely amazing!
The only downside to FI, is that they didn't have a pool. I would have loved a fresh water pool to lounge around in after a heavy day of diving to de-salt thyself. LOL Hopefully the new pool will be completed by summer.
We stayed in the 400 building, we were actually D-20 upstairs, on the end which was nice, but...for some odd reason, we had alot of bees in our room in which I got stung! This was scary, for I'm very allergic to bees. At one point, we had even considered asking to be moved, but the amount of bees declinded.
Oh, our boat was the 'Island Time' from Laguna Beach, Utila. Our captain was Capt John (borrowed from Utila) and our DM was Henry who is a regular at FI. After talking with Capt John, I look forward to going to Utila, perhaps next year.
