Hello all,
At 20 years old I'd imagine I'm one of the less mature of age people on the board, but I was hoping you all could help me out anyway...
I'm looking to head out by myself on a dive trip to Roatan around the end of September. I went with my dad a couple years back and stayed at Bay Island Beach Resort, but this time I decided to save up the money to treat myself to a solo excursion and hopefully meet some cool people along the way, as I find always tends to happen in diving situations.
My idea of the necessities for this trip are pretty simple... food, a hammock, and a lot of diving pretty much cover all the bases. BIBR seemed to fill these needs quite nicely and up until I did some research just now I was pretty much set on heading back there. However, I looked into a few other places, most impressive of which was CoCo View Resort which not only seems to be a favorite but is a bit cheaper. At this point I think if it weren't for the people at BIBR who I would love to go back and see, I would be set on CCV -- it seems like the best compromise between great diving and a few ammenities a little more modern than BIBR could offer (I know I insisted on the basics but a gym and the option of internet are swaying me too). I would love to hear everyone else's thoughts on the topic, and any other opinions of possible low key places that would be good for diving and relaxing would be much appreciated.
Also I gather that the end of September is the slow season, so if anyone can offer any insight on just how different it is (since we went in July before), I would greatly appreciate that as well. Thanks for any help.
