TGI pick divers up at the Infinity Dock, as will some other operators on the beach. Infinity is a 5-6 minuite walk along the beach to the farthest dive center on West Bay, leave your gear at the dive center and enjoy the morning walk:)

Some other West Bay options that might work for your mixed group. Infinity Bay has a great pool and the beach in front is off limits for passing water taxis, would be a good option if you wanted to cook alittle. VRBO is a good place to look for there and also West Bay Village which is...

Back on the subject of employment, finding a busy enough dive center to support you full time throughout the year can be a difficult task, for the dive center, finding decent instructors available full time to maintain their high standards and reputations can be equally tricky. From my...

Tranquil Seas is now fully up and running, they aren't refering 'their' divers anymore. Its located a 5 minute walk down from Anthony's key Resort in Sandy Bay so yes, is in the heart of the better diving on the northwest facing side of Roatan. Chris, the owner and onsite manager also offers...

Try contacting Chris Benson at Tranquil Seas (located in Sandy Bay near Spooky Channel), great boat and experienced diving all round the island.

On Roatan the AI divemasters are generally on a pretty low salary so well earned tips are always going to be appreciatted. Many other divemasters outside of the AI's are paid per diver, so if you're enjoying that nice small group you're in and all that space on the boat perhaps a 10% tip can...

I've often heard Sudan is good, liveabroad being the only way to go from there I guess. Personally I'm not so interested in wrecks, ideally prefer a mix of currents with the bigger stuff and slow macro hunting. On Roatan we have alot of wall diving, occasional strong currents and very little...

Ok, so I'll continue to ask you guys first before researching somewhat blindly, who do, should, I contact regarding a small liveaboard charter? Red Sea Shadow, you seem like the a go to guy, how do you best enjoy your diving in the area? cheers

Looking for abit of inside information on liveaboards in the Red Sea this coming September/October Hoping for some experienced advice on how two 30 year old instructors and their 4 friends can enjoy some of the better diving in the area without the crowds (when I say 'crowds' I mean no more...

Hi folks, we're a couple, instructors, travelling in Southern Argentina during November (not all the way south to Ushuaia) and would be grateful to hear from anyone who has been diving around Puerto Madryn in recent years, ops to use, sites to visit, whats worth doing, whats not. Any info...

Agreed CODMAN, the intent of the post seemed to be to prevent other divers making the same mistake, which is what the board is for isn't it? I don't post too much as I find the threads often, too my frustration, via towards these lame arguments, I wonder if I'm not alone????

Well I manage one of the three listed and have promised myself not to tout for business on the forums so... Again, all three are good, we each have decent boats, new rental gear, small group to guide ratios and all support the efforts of the Roatan Marine Park. I know Bananarama and Mayan...

Regarding Infinity Bay and diving, while they do advertise a diving package it is, in reality, inappropriate for their clients and the dive operators that honour them. I agree with a previous post that eventually the hotel will almost certainly have its own on-site center to cater to its...

Its interesting to see how the responses on where is the most appropriate location to dive on Roatan have improved, how many members are providing much more unbiased and mature posts on the subject. Well done Roatanman, Codman and Bay Island Diver, lets hope some of the newer posters will do...

upto 16 divers for one divemaster booking thru. the cruiseship, do not use that option! You'll often find the cruise ship divers are given to free lance divemaster/instructors with little local knowledge or experience. Wouldn't be so concerned about a guide finding you 'the small stuff'at this...

Thanks for your comments, your right, this forum is ideal for sharing experiences but also for helping dive centers/operators improve their services to their divers. All the best with your diving

Well, I guess I'm the best person to respond to Bruce's recent post as manager of Bananarama. Firstly I'd like to say I'm sorry he felt unhappy with the management at the dive center, it is a rare complaint but he did highlight some problems I'd like to explain as well as some things...

So you know, the shark dive via Anthonys Key still has the guys from Waihuka on the AKR boat, so basically you just to do the dive from a bigger, more comfortable boat with a akr divemaster with you, akr and waihuka aren't always so bothered about taking large groups so recommend doing this...

Just got back from Panama, headed by road down to Santa Catalina and stayed at La Buena Vida, nice, spacious, clean $40 per night. This is a surfers town with a famous break, October was not the time to visit for surfing or diving but we did anyway. Dove with Herbie's operation, ScubaCoiba...

Sushi tuesday right across the street from you in West Bay mall is good as is their deli. West End try the Vietname above West End Divers, Argetinian Grill, the Indian rest next door to the Arg. is excellent and the cheap and cheerful rotisserie chicken is filling. Sundowners beach bar has...
