We got back from out cruise to Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel this last week... the operator in Roatan was real good, but the actual diving wasn't anything that I'd go back for... I mean it was 'all right' as my wife put it, and I really enjoyed Canyon Reef, but I mean I'll have a hard time convincing the wife to ever go back... I think personally, given the reputation Roatan has for good diving, it was just an off day...
Belize, no diving, that was family day, I endured the journey to Lamanai by car/boat and back... lunch was the real treat... dang they make a good habanero salsa!!!
Now, the one high note is i don't have to beg my wife to go back to Cozumel... even with it starting out a little choppy in the morning, we had two great dives, so good my wife came up from the second dive and said "we need to come back and stay a week!"... we dove Palancar Caves and a dive site our operator "Diving with Alison" called her "secret place" which rocked... saw a couple big, big lobsters under a ledge, a sea turtle with his own angelfish carousel (four big angels going around him in a tight circle while he ate) a few nurse sharks and a big old barracuda... visability was as advertised... I love diving in the Philippines, but I've only seen water that clear off Saipan... it was kind of surreal..
Anyway, let me know if I need to fight to give Roatan a second chance... the operator there (Scuba Roatan) was good too, I'd definitely use them again if I were to go back...
