For the more experienced divers out there ---
Do you have a "Happy Place", a place that you know see clearly in your mind as your ultimate dive destination? Is there a place you just can't get out of your mind? The diving and topside were so memorable?
I have been diving for 9 years now, lots of places Carib, Pacific, cold water and warm water, and I finally get it. I had someone tell me once that Little Cayman was his "happy place". He could relate everything down to the smells and sounds, everything was magic for him there. I had never really thought it was possible, I like EVERY place we go diving, there is always something special about it. Each destination has great things that area unique to that destination............. but now I have a "happy place". It is Cocoview Resort, Roatan. We had rainy weather and poor vis much of the week, but it got under my skin and I can't get it out of my head!!!!! The boat diving, the walls covered with sponges and coral, the easy shore diving, the big roomy boats, the A+ dive crew, the gear storage area, the funky rooms over the water, the tropical scenery, the hummingbirds and the bats, the fire dancers and children dancers, the yummy food, the friendly staff.... I just can't get it out of my HEAD!!!
So......... do any of you well-traveled divers out there have the same problem? Is there a place which from now on ALL other destinations must measure up to?
