Reasonable unlimited diving in the Caribbean?

[chauncy19]

remember there is a malaria risk associated with Roatan. Have been on a visit to COCO view. Seemed like a good spot except for malaria risk which as a blood donor is a real consideration. Have been many times to Bonaire. Love the place but its not real easy to fly into. ofcourse that doesn't stop me. :=) Great spot for shore diving, hard to imagine there are better in the Caribbean.

I'd give that a 2.0 out of 10 on truthfulness.

The OP said she wanted inexpensive suggestions. Fantasy Island Beach Resort IS cheaper than CoCo View and during my week at FIBR, we dove the Prince Albert three times. And diving from the gazebo seemed pretty convenient to me.

Guess we must have been on Roatan during different weeks, huh?

As for my truthfulness? I'm not a shill and don't have a dog in this hunt. The Bay Islands are known for inexpensive diving. Grand Cayman? Not so much...

Thank you for all your recommendations! We just made reservations for Coco View and are eagerly awaiting March.

Sweet, I have heard nothing but good things about Coco View, the diving off Roatan is great, with spectacular topography and Sea Horses to boot. Have a great trip

I did Buddy's in July. It is really nice. and Capt Don's is right next door. Good diving off the house reefs there.
You can do it cheaper of course, but get what you can afford. Also skip dinner at Rains Fishes (used to be 'great') and just hit if for jazz and dessert. Try Bamboo (the newer place on corner, a few blocks south. south end of 'the action')
Have a big time!
