What I don't understand is, why would anyone ever go to Anthony's Key by oneself, when they have a 2-for-1 offer? Yes, there would be no single supplement, but where's the fun in going alone when you could bring a friend for free?
My wife and I have been to CoCoView once, and to AKR once. We enjoyed them both. We travel on a budget, so given the 2-for-1 pricing, we'd pick AKR over CCV every time. If you took away the discount, it's a tossup. CCV has a more accessible and protected house reef, with a wreck parked right out front, and a generally better organized and convenient dive operation. CCV is just awesome if you want to dive solo, it's very geared to that. But the south side of Roatan has been heavily fished, and you won't find much big stuff at CCV's reers. (It's often described as "great for macro" which is a euphemism for "way overfished.") AKR has much "fishier" reefs on the north end, but their shore diving is more limited. Cabins and food are good at both. Not super luxurious, but solid. But like I say, if you are on a budget AKR is a much better deal.

I just back from AKR a little over a week ago. I went down with a big University-based group (29 of us) with mixed experience levels. I found AKR to be a great operation. Our captains and DM's were top notch, accommodations we're great (my GF and I stayed in a Key Superior room), and the food and drink were good. Above that, the staff were friendly and accommodating and made a week of diving with a big group pretty painless. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend AKR to anyone. I think the value is great (regardless of whether the BOGO deal is really a deal or not).
We unfortunately had a member of our group suffer a minor leg injury aboard one of the dive boats at no fault of the captain, DM, or anyone at AKR. It was simply an accident. She wasn't able to dive the last three days of the trip but AKR comped her a full week trip whenever she wants it. It was a very generous gesture. That alone ranks AKR as a top notch operation in my book.
