Hello!
You guys and girls are great...I've been lurking on this forum for a LONG time and love all the information you provide.
My girlfriend and I were certified about a year ago, right before a trip to Anguilla, Saba, and St. Martin. Unfortunately, we were only able to do three dives there, and haven't since. We're planning a trip to Roatan, likely in May 2005.
I've searched the forums hi and low, and apologize in advance if this specific situation was already addressed, but I couldn't find it while searching.
We like small, independent non-resort vacations, and this view is strengthened on this trip due to the fact that we're new divers and want a lot of attention from the DM, if not a DM solely for us (at least for the first couple days). There seem to be a lot of great independent dive shops/hotels that would be perfect for us in West End, but a few posts I've read make it sound like there is better diving in other parts of Roatan? We could care less about nightlife and other activities... so West End is not a necessity for us. If there are other areas that might be better, I'd love some advice!
Also, I'm not 100% opposed to CCV or other all-inclusives if the diving's much better...but I'm assuming we'd be somewhat intimidated by lack of attention from the DM?
Thanks again for all your help!
Dave
