Costa Rica or Honduras (Utila/Roatan)

Cano Island can be accessed by a short boat ride from Drake Bay, or a longer boat ride from Uvita.
Getting to Drake Bay via road can be challenging, we did it in a small SUV, but 4x4 is recommended, as there were several water crossings that vary with rainfall. Either way, there's a surface interval on the island, with a shore lunch.

Awesome thank you

When I did my dives at Cano, I was diving a BP/W, which the dive guides hadn't seen before. I heard them comment that the Canadian guy was like a machine in the water, he turns like a helicopter, lol.

Haha

I have been diving in Roatan and Costa Rica. I'd take Costa Rica any day, I was in Drake Bay, diving at Cano Island. Lots of huge manta ray, sharks, turtles, great viz.

Can you recommend a dive center in Drake bay and would you recommend pre booking. I'm going with my partner at Christmas

I stayed here: Reservations/ Contact | Hotel Jinetes de Osa
Great hotel, with their own dive shop and boat.
I would book ahead.

Have you considered the island of Guanaja? It another bay island of Honduras. I stayed at Clark's Cay which was very nice & would highly recommend. Also check out their sister resort Dun bar rock as another possibility.

Hi, Was there no-see-ums at Clarks Cay? Agree with Dunbar Rock. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of steps though
