    Roatan advice: north-east vs. south and west?

    We are most likely heading to Roatan in April. It has been 8 years since our last trip of 6 straight visits. We've rented houses, stayed at Coco Lobo, done the Mayan Princess, stayed at Bananarama while they were building their bar, but have never done one of the dive centric resorts. This...

    Never dove the Bahamas, coming in on a, ugh, cruise ship...

    As it says, wife and I are using our Holland America cruise to hit up Grand Turk (2 wall dives scheduled), Dom Rep (north Sosua Beach wreck dive plus one shallow), and finally Freeport Bahamas where we arrive at 10am (I know this time sucks right?). We leave the next day around 5:30pm from FLL...

    North side (Puerto Plata/Amber Cove) DR diving (cruise ship dive) ideas?

    Well I agreed to go on a cruise with momma. She's been on one and I refused to get on a Royal Caribbean play vessel or a Carnival Walmart wagon as well. I agreed reluctantly to travel on a much more sedate Holland America to relax while at sea. Our stops are Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (in the...

    Suggestion What happened to Scubaboard?

    It has been a while since I posted on scuba board and I was trying to search forums on my phone. Holy crap, are the ads annoying!!! I need a 12-in phone to be able to read forums without being bombarded with pop-up ads. This is nuts. When did you guys change the format?

    Diving Land's End

    Heading there in July. Water temp then?? Any takers on guessing? Plan on doing the Lands End dive for sure and probably not much else unless you can recommend any others to me. Wife's 50th will be spent on style so all inclusive either in town or out in San Jose Los Cabos.

    Cruiseshippers return when??

    I know it's fun but there are far better ways to enjoy an island without dumping plastic and bottles and condoms over the side while you go from island to island. I dove in Curacao right underneath the cruise ship ports and what I found down there was horrid. Crystal clear water and trash...

    Cruiseshippers return when??

    Yeah we went to utila about eight years ago and while the reef was beautiful it was overfished. Have the rules changed? Is there more species there? We also rented that famous pineapple house and the beach out front was littered with trash. Sort of a turn off.

    Any reviews of resorts in Bayahibe DR recently? Pre/post Covid shutdown?

    Wife and I are on our way to DR for Christmas and have never been. Specifically heading to ScubaFun and Bayahibe for our own getaway and diving adventure to shake us up from the rut of our Coz/Grand Cayman/Curacao/Roatan/cenotes routine. It's nothing to be complaining about as we love those...

    Cruiseshippers return when??

    I was asking for your thoughts or opinions about what you've heard about when the cruise ships will return to the islands to ruin them?

    Cruiseshippers return when??

    I saw that the Cruise Ship Alliance has agreed NOT to resume service until AT LEAST November. My wife is super hesitant about staying on West Bay Beach due to the cruiseshippers and all the vendors that plague the beach when they are there. It's the reason we haven't been back to Roatan since...

    Latest Roatan news? Re-open? Test requirements

    Well the wife and I are now set on Roatan for Christmas. We'll reserve the Key Deluxe at AKR if possible or Turquoise Bay if it survived...this week. Any news on the latest? I've read online that RTB will require a 72 hour pre-arrival rapid test confirmation correct? That's easy for the wife...

    All inclusive resorts suggestions

    This is the problem with the internet and discussion boards. I was not referring to the Caribbean as a whole. All I was referring to was the US CDC saying that something like 6% of the 190k number in the US was reflective of actual deaths from start to finish in totally healthy humans. Was...

    All inclusive resorts suggestions

    We stayed at the Coz Palace this March and it was FABULOUS. I just didn't like having to sit in the boat for 20 minutes once through with a dive. My wife elected to watch our nephew as my Dad and stepmom were with us and the stepmom was diving with me. Yes, the amenities there satisfy my wife...

    All inclusive resorts suggestions

    Thanks! I'll check it out but may be moot due to the restrictions. Started looking at Bonaire and ran into the same wall of panacea over 10k worldwide deaths total due to CV infections from start to finish. Cannot believe a $22t economy was shut down over 10k deaths...shortsighted if you ask me.

    These suggestions have been really good. Thank you everybody. my wife and I have been on YouTube this morning confirming all of these locations. I started noticing that just down the way from dreams on that amazing Beach is the iberostar which seems to have thousands of people at it as well as...
