With the current predictions, I don't think it will stop you from diving. Year before last we were diving at Fantasy Island on the south side of Roatan when a storm skirted the Bay Islands. We were on the sheltered side and actually dove on the day the storm went by! If AKR gets their boats around soon enough it shouldn't be a problem. Best of luck to you!

It looks like Ernesto is passing 200 miles to the west of us. There will be a day of rougher then usual weather, however I have just enjoyed 4 dives this weekend so come on down and enjoy our island life
I was rainy and pretty rough yesterday. It does appear that Ernesto made a pretty sharp turn to the north and is not going to hit us that hard at all. Ernesto looks to be going north enough to spare us anything too rough.

It is raining and a little breezy right now. We have returned to Anthonys Key, they have brought the boats back and I would assume from the looks of the position of Ernesto and his forecast path that we will be diving tomorrow. Not for certain but entirely possible.

Hurricane Warning now includes Cozumel, from Tulum south to Belize City: Hurricane ERNESTO Public Advisory
But all the computer models seem to agree on landing south of the Sian Ka'an Reserve.

We keep getting bands of rain and wind here. They seem to be getting less intense. We are back at Anthony's Key now. It seems to be settling down and everyone is hopeful for a day of diving. They brought the boats back today and other than the rain and 20-30 mph wind gusts it isn't bad here.

Ernie had landfall last night. A few showers and light breezes this morning. The clouds don't look as dense as they did last night.
