I just got back from Coco View. It's accurately described as "dive camp" by some, but "island time" is not a thing at CCV and it operates with almost miltary precision, but the staff is very friendly and helpful. It tends to run full or close to full during high season, and a lot of the guests are repeats. The beds are comfortable the food is good (not gourmet).
Boat diving is described on the website. Shore diving is available 24X7 as long as conditions allow. The wrecks and the channel they rest in are great places to poke around looking for small stuff. Spotted eagle rays were visiting on the regular. Then there are the two walls.
As of last week there isn't much active bleaching happening. There is coral that was bleached last summer (I was brokenhearted when visiting in October), some is bouncing back, some is not.
I am booked for November for my 16th visit. Full disclosure, I love the place.
I last visited the Reefhouse, near the east end, several years ago. A smaller operation than Coco view, but diving was great. The DM there pretty much taught me how to dive the southside waters. Since then the place has morphed into a party place, expats mostly I think. If you like parties with your diving, it's good.
That is my experience with Roatan land-based operations. Go, the water is fine!
We are headed back to Roatan and wanted to get some feedback on dive resorts. We have stayed at Anthony's Key before, but have been contemplating either Co Co View, Turquoise Bay Resort or Mayan Princess. Not sure about a couple of these and would appreciate feedback and any other suggestions! Thanks in advance!
