Fair enough. I have been to Roatan in 2007 and I have seen first hand the conditions of abject poverty that many Hondurans live in. I have a trip to Honduras planned for 2010 and thus I am interested in monitoring the situation closely as I may need to modify my plans depending on how it...

Financial Times Strike over coup raises tension in Honduras July 22 2009 "Honduras was braced for violence as trade unions, farmers, student groups and social movements prepared for a two-day general strike set to begin on Thursday in protest against the recent military coup."

Huh, You may want to direct that spat to yourself since I was responding to your own political post about how a Republican senator is delaying a political appointment. Second, I did not quit anything (see my post yesterday), I simply went diving in Cozumel for a few days. But I can see how you...

I am not quite sure how you made the transition from one Republican senator in the US Senate delaying a committee vote, as the article you linked to reports, to saying "many Goverments are starting to see what is going on here" in Honduras. What I am sure of is that yesterday the "European...

In my experience, Jorge is the most laid back and will let experienced divers do their own thing. Unfortunately, we only did 1 two tank boat dive with him last week as he, with Jose, generally gets the larger groups (more tips, I guess). So, generally, it's a bit of a trade off: better guides...

Mateo is a BA but I haven't seen him diving on a boat when we were there in October or last week. From what I've heard, he mostly does instruction.

Yes and no. It depends on: 1. who the dive guide is, and 2. what the dive site is, and 3. what the dive conditions are. From my experience, this is what I've heard from various dive guides at BA: - dive your own profile, start ascent at 700 psi. - dive your own profile, start...

That may be. I didn't dive with them. I dived at BA last week with a guy who said he dived a steel 100 to Maracaibo. But he might have just said 100s, and my memory inserted the steel part. I am pretty sure about the $5 though... :cool2:

Blue Angel Resort (http://www.blueangelresort.com/) has what is sometimes referred to as AI light: breakfast included with the room, and lunch included every day you do a 2 tank morning boat dive. With a 10 day stay you'll also get a free dinner with your stay. In my opinion, with so much good...

And your source is?

RTBDiver, We all appreciate your Honduras constitutional acumen but, unfortunately, every government on the face of the earth disagrees with your interpretation.

So, we should only trust the coup censored Honduran media, right? Last time I checked on Wednesday, 46 percent of Hondurans rated Zelaya favorably, well above 30 percent for Micheletti. He must have a pretty big thumb, to be able to reach Cuba all the way from Venezuela.

That was my Diver's Luncheon! Here is the same photo, different angle.

Here is a not so good squid pic for you, until I can get all the pics and videos together.

Hello Mary!! It was a pleasure meeting you and diving with you. Hopefully we'll meet again somewhere. Our return trip was uneventful.

Nice hit piece. How many times can one say Chavez in one essay? Twenty. Too bad that according to a recent poll, 46 percent of Hondurans now favor Zelaya, well above 30 percent for Micheletti. Also of interest: Honduras imposes new curfew over fears of new riots.

You need your own, but I am fairly sure that there will be guests who will let you check your email with their laptops.

I would say wireless internet at Blue Angel Resort is spotty. As DandyDon wrote, it depends on what room you're in and what laptop you have. Last October, during the ownership transition, we could not log on from room 203 (third room north from the lobby on the second floor) with our old laptop...

You must read a lot of science fiction. Does that book of yours also include the shutting down and intimidation of media and journalists unsympathetic to the coup?

Let's not forget the petulant, self appointed board moderator.
