Pics from topside Roatan Feb/March 08

Thanks to all who contributed feedback. The mainland has won out for the week with friends so I hope to cram in a few days of diving after the week on la isla bonita. We may still try and do a dinner and a day on the island. My sweetie really can't get La Verandah out of her head and for most in...

I have been trying to convince my better half on the merits of the combined condo's in El Cantil or something like that. She has the "beach" house with the pool in mind. I keep trying to inculcate to her that Cozumel is not a beach destination although it has some nice beaches. Our non diving...

I meant the Villa Debra...not sure where Jen cam from..lol.

Great info so far and keep it coming. I keep telling the boss that a beach vacation is not why we go to Cozumel but she has this "vision" that includes dinner at La Veranda along with beach walks for our friends, the house on the beach....and so on and so on.... I keep trying to remind her how...

Thanks for the PM Jen. I have a pretty good idea of where the first place is and diving isn't likely to be in the cards for the week of the wedding. Hopefully a week before or after. I have been looking at El Cantil as well as places in town (my preference) and had considered the two condo's...

Also now looking for input on Villa Sol Haa which looks to be just a little further south on the "beach" side. Her first choice appears to be right behind a bar and restaurant. I'm still trying to convince her of the merits of in town, drive to the beach for the day, walk to the restaurants at...

My partner has decided that we are going to get married in Cozumel and have the after party/dinner at La Veranda. So it seems I will be renting a villa for 8 of our friends to come down and join us in the occasion. So far she has her eye on Suenos de Mar which is south of town between Fiesta...

Just got back yesterday and we were diving with Dive Fair Helen and had no complaints. Andre, Michael and the gang looked after us very well and I had some great dives. The main shop is in Marigot bay marina and they are set up to do just about everything you want. We even chose them over...

Just a comment on the radio suggestion, I used to do it until we had the pleasure of a late night radio station come on the air where we thought there was no signal, happened at around 3 a.m. and we had it up loud. Since then we have a travel alarm clock that generates different sounds and you...

Depending on your length of stay the ferry to the mainland is a great option and rent a car to explore playa and south. For the money I find Cozumel hard to beat and it's the one place in the world I find I always want to return to because of the great diving. Central America has some good...

Check out Cozumel Coral Reef Inn for decent and well placed/priced lodging and some good package deals for diving through them or an operator of your choice. Let Jerry and Leona know you are travelling solo and they will look after you. Any questions pm me. Have a great trip, it's the one place...

Well it is closer to things and on top of some great shore diving and snorkeling, just watch the monkeys. I hope you do a trip report to catch us up on the latest! Have a great trip.

My wife and I spent 5 nights and 6 days at TBR a little over a year ago. I had some issues with the operator (they were having boat problems then as well) and was less than impressed with some of the dive interns. The boat man was excellent (local guy who worked his butt off) but you need to be...

Well I'm not sure what a few days is but with some pre course work done before arrival and depending on how much of an aptitude the chap in question has for diving he could get certified while there. 6-7 hours of daily work with some pre course reading and watching the DVD's that now accompany...

Try Cozumel Coral Reef Inn Welcome to the Coral Reef Inn in Cozumel, Mexico it's about a 5 minute walk to Chedraui, 15 minutes to Barracuda for pickup for diving, full kitchen on the roof, close to dozens of inexpensive restaurants, great rates at the moment, super comfortable beds and the last...

You may also want to check out Cozumel Coral Reef Inn. They do some great packages with Dp and are only about a 10 minute walk from Barra. They have great rooms, full kitchen on the roof (we did our own breakfast every day then walked down to the diving (used the locker's at Barra and the pool...

Although I am not part of the tribe I think bdklein is to be commended for not only offering to take the candles down but to pick some up. Pay it forward and wait for the good karma to come around.

I used my Icon on a week long trip to Roatan this spring and have to say I really enjoyed the superior comfort and easy trim over my much older jacket style. Packing was a cinch. Having only the one pocket really makes you think about how much extra stuff you carry with you. No problems on the...

I've been looking at the rolling duffel bags on LL Bean. Check them out and the post above in regard to my question on the subject. I also read good things about the Tusa rolling duffel which is fairly cheap at the online retailers, ST and LP.
