David was diving again today, he opted for the morning double dive and jumped aboard the 9am departure. It was a bit overcast and the sea beyond the reef didn't look it's usual calm this morning. It wasn't long either before the boat was being tossed around like a cork and as usual, when the sea is rough, you travel slower than normal which just prolongs the time you need to keep hold of your breakfast. Texas is on the southernmost tip of the island, so about ...

We had been trying to book flights out of Roatàn for a few days but were having real problems with the airline's website. In the end, and on advice from the locals, we went to the airport sales desk. Firstly, we didn't expect the sales desk to be the be check-in desk and secondly, we didn't think they would close for lunch.

It was David's first day on diving in Roatán with Coconut Tree Divers. It was a pretty slick operation too. They had a couple of very good boats and a guaranteed schedule of at least 4 dives a day and sometimes a night dive too. The morning boat would go out to further away dive sites for a double dive and 2 separate trips in the afternoon would go to closer and shallower sites that were also good for snorkelling. All you needed to do was to put your name on...

It was a day for relaxing after the stress of yesterday. We walked the 2 minutes from Casa Del Sol down into the town, which is more like the size of a village. Everything is pretty much on the one street which wraps itself around Half Moon Bay. As the name suggests, the bay is a perfect little arc of white sand fringed with palm trees. It seems that Honduras, or at least Roatán, is very American orientated. There is a lot of American influence and many p...
