    Roatan - Where to Stay?/Cocoview houses?

    Instructor certification

    Good for you! I have been teaching for four years and we are the same age. Although this is my hobby, I sign up to teach as often as I can (and work and wife will let me). I plan on keeping this up for years to come. I am having a blast!

    Referral student issued Cert card by diff agency
