I just want to say thank you for all the input! Hubby and I are heading Roatan way in May. Was juggling the same resorts. We are both divers so I'm choosing CCV.. We are 60 and 58... so those steps at AKR were really a challenge to me! Knee replacement already! I don't know what is considered newbie, middie, advanced... we've had a lot of "private" diving, so I do feel we are a little more advanced than one would think... We are only at 20+ dives... but most of them have been just us and the divemaster... very blessed and thankful! AOW and want to get nitrox when we head to Roatan!!! The more diving the better for us two... any suggestions for us are welcome!
If you want a LOT of quality diving CCV can`t be beat. One of the few land based operations where you can easily do 5 dives a day. With your knees though there is a walk after the drop off dive of around 100 ft. I think you can drop your tank at the racks on the seaside of the restaurant though. But it is all level.
