    Doc Radawski, final ascent

    Can you imagine how healthy the reefs were back when he arrived on Roatan. Doc recently pointed us to Nicaragua, the corn islands. He said that's where the healthy reefs are these days.

    Change in management at CCV

    The reefs are being destroyed by run off due to clearing of land on roatan for houses and development. The dive pressure does not help the situation. Marys place is stripped like bare limestone, and so is calvins crack. I wont be going back to Roatan and only offer advise to the new manager. I...

    Half moon bay, etc. I just think cocoview is riding on the old 1990 concept where they were the only real diving resort on roatan, i think it's time they embrace the island and take customers on a tour of the real roatan. The night diving is way overlooked , the entire front yard is wayyy over...

    I just think they should scale back on stuff and get hard core on diving, it's obvious the night manager is worthless and deb and Mitch had their own agenda and high school clique

    People who come there want to dive not listen to a Billie Joel cover song, do something about the sea mounts

    I definitely know cocoview, even before the rooms have air conditioners... i mean Brion is ok but the night manager is lame. The entire routine of taken guest out 5 minutes from the resort is getting old. The house reef is awesome but you are better off spending a little bit more and going to...

    Ok, maybe it would bee cool to keep the normal rotation on 3 boats and 3 boats take the drift dives or let's see what happens dives.. one of my all time favorite dives was at the cayman dive lodge, someone got sick and they brought that diver back to the dock... they went back out and dumped...

    Advice on Cayman Brac Beach Resort for a single diver

    Cayman Brac is good diving, I prefer east end grand cayman for the vast massive structures and walls. I always dive solo, dive solo at CCV all the time, other places I just stick with the group. I never dive past 50 feet anymore because I have learned you cant really depend on buddies unless you...

    Trip Report Trip report: Blue Planet Divers op at West Bay, Roatan

    I stay at CCV because I love the shore diving, but you sure miss a lot of the island experience. I want to stay on the west end next trip and go to Utila Cocoview wall is hard to beat!

    Coco View: Mango Suite

    I wouldn't even bother unless you have kids or something. Just stay up close to the main building and save a few dollars. Its a long walk and the bikes are a bit rusty

    Mary'sPlace?

    Marys place was closed for a few years, the dive pressure on the site is horrible. It's stripped clean and the exit is definitely not what it used to be 17 years ago. I would skip it.

    Roatan reef condition

    I took 2 trips last year to cocoview. My very first trip was 2011. I can tell you the reef is nothing like it was in 2011... The visibility sucks when it rains due to the run off. The clearing and development of the island is killing the via and evidently the earthquakes just destroyed all the...
