Doc, You always have great responses, I appreciate your humor, insight and cynicism! Happy Festivus!

You just go on thinking that, and see how well it serves you. I, on the other hand, will always adapt my thinking to the reality I am observing. The difference is one is a victim's mentality and the other is a survivor's mentality. It seems that those who do not live on Roatan are ready to...

You stateside people just want to think this only happens in other countries. Denver and Chicago are much more dangerous than Roatan. No place on earth can escape globalization, and the spread of desensitization of violence through the media in the US. The generation under age 40 today has...

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story, you version is incorrect....it was self defense though. The lesson here is to be nice, pride is a killa. Both sides should have walked away after the initial encounter, no harm, no foul.The one killed was on the bow of the boat firing...

First of all, this has no place on Scubaboard. This is a situation that is blown completely out of porportion by the coconut telegraph. This does not involve tourists, divers, or the general population. This is bored people with too much time on their hands reporting second hand news. The...

Cruise shippers, golfers, gamblers, NIMBY's, Roatan is not just for diving anymore....

I routinely fly through San Pedro Sula to the states. I have never had trouble there. I usually take the ferry and then the bus and and spend the night. I go out in the evening for dinner. No problem, ever. It is like any big city (including the US), just be aware of what happening around...

The Odyssy is still a nice dive site and quite worth the trip. Also, lionfish are here, and they are not going away. We saw five yesterday alone.

A full 3mil and you will be fine unless you are a reptile. The water temp should be 80-82 degrees. For sure March and April are sea lice season, They are not terribly painful, just bothersome at times. They have been present on the water for the past few weeks here. We also have small...

Sosa and Islena both only have one flight a day from SPS to RTB at the moment. Sosa is 2:30pm and Islena is 4pm. It is about $120 each way.

Papa Bear, The floating bar may be suitable for a daytime visit, BUT, I assure you it is not someplace to take your wife or a lady after dark. Let's say, for the sake of discretion, it is a Persian Den of Sin after dark, and that is putting it politely

Thanks for the relevant post. It was in the Bay Island Voice last month that any business in the Bay Islands involved in tourism was spending their own money to keep the doors open. For most businesses in that position, it is not possible to continue much longer on this path. The US...

For the price, it is a good deal. It is hard to offer the kind of dive packages at their prices and not defer some expenses...

FI is your best bet east of French Harbor for the least expensive option. East end diving is remote (takes fuel and associated logisitics) so do not expect to find bargain pricing. If you are on a budget like you indicated, stay where it fits your budget, West End

Try Royal Playa in Port Royal. They were reviwed in Undercurrent earlier this year. royalplayaroatan.com

The ferry to Belize from Puerto Cortes leaves the Playa Hotel beach on Monday morning and arrives in Placencia Belize about 4-5 hours later. The boat is about 35 feet long. It returns to Honduras on Wednesday. The person you need to contact is Roberto Alvarez Jr., it is his operation. His...
