ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2014 Roatan

[Dubi]

I am very sad to confirm Janet and I are out. Our Lembeh & Bali trip will eat over 100hrs of vacation, and neither of us will accrue enough in only a few weeks to cover the Invasion. I am not even allowed to take a few days without pay, so that's not even an option anymore (I thought about doing it).

I am super bummed b/c I have been looking FW to the 2014 trip since the day I left Boniare last year. I hope you all have a fantastic trip...hope to see you in all in 2015.

Sooooooo sad you two won't be there. It won't be the same without double date diving. 😢

I guess there must be some interest

A good tease is hard to resist... It's like trying to avoid looking at the guy pulled over on the side of the road.
Now stop teasing us and spill the beans already!

[h=2]Popular Dive Sites at Roatan Honduras:[/h]

Calvin's Crack ​	A plateau atop a shallow reef facing a wall, Calvin's Crack runs through the reef along narrows, widening to an exit along the outer wall.
Spooky Channel ​	This diving site is a little deeper, a former river valley formed this channel which opens to the barrier reef at 100 feet with a cathedral-like scenario. The side walls of the channel rise up to almost touch each other but still allow light to illuminate your way.
Barbareta Wall ​	3 miles offshore from Roatan, the uninhabited, hilly island of Barbareta offers undiscovered reefs replete with coral gardens, a dramatic mile-long wall, while the island is framed by white sandy beaches and coves; the wall is a continuous drop-off that usually offers great pelagic encounters.
West End Wall ​	A spectacular precipice borders a deep blue abyss, with pillar corals, Azure Vase Sponges and barrel sponges, while in the deeper water divers are likely to find themselves among schools of pelagics and Eagle Rays.
Enchanted Forest and Insidious Reef ​	West of Romeo's Resort, these two dives are part of a larger reef associated with an offshore bank. The drop-off begins from a series of rolling reefs that drop to 70' - 80', with Creole Wrasse and groupers in abundance among the diverse sponge and coral growth.
Connie's Dream ​	3-min from Romeo's Resort, this sloping drop-off provides tube and vase sponges among both red and purple tube sponges, while a seemingly endless system of tall coral heads and deep sand channels fall into the abyss.
Doc's Elbow ​	Directly in front of the entrance channel to Brick Bay Resort, this popular night dive provides divers with a variety of life, including octopus, reef crabs and lobsters. A short swim leads divers to the wall.
Mary's Place ​	Perhaps one of the most popular dive sites off Roatan, the dive starts at a permanent mooring buoy on the reef shelf, along a vertical crevice that drops from 40', with a huge section of the wall broken away from the main section to form a wide slit. Many smaller crevices invite exploration among bouquets of Rope and Tube Sponges, deepwater seafans and Black Coral. A sand shelf drops from 140' to 200', offering a magnificent underwater view.
Trunk Turtle Bay Beach ​	On Barbareta Island, great for snorkeling and shallow dives
Pigeon Cays ​	Three islets off Barbareta's south coast, with undiscovered dive sites.
Wreck Diving - "Prince Albert" ​	140' tanker
Wreck Diving - "El Aguila" ​	210' cargo boat perfectly sunk at 100 feet of water on a sandy bottom full of Deep Garden Eels. It has been adapted for penetration diving so you can descend onto open large compartments where you can surprise a number of fish in their homes. Adjacent to the boat runs the wall to finish off the dive among the shallow water tropical fish.

Well, Al says he's already on the list. But unless he's got inside information he doesn't know what that list is. Sunday is a long way away. I guess Bay Adventures is closed on Sunday too.
