first trip to roatan

[Doc]

I often see Bananarama, AKR, Seagrape and other boats moored just offshore of my place

What dive site is that?

The Blue House is my Guess. Across from West End - South Side - South of Flowers Bay

Flower's Bay Wall or posssibly Church Reef

Some call it Church reef, Some Blue House wall, Some Flowers bay wall, It is a little west of the church and the cove/beach at the church.

What site is it ?

Reminds me of when we had a class in West Palm beach in 92, Hurricane andrew was comming quick but I made a deal with the captain, if she would let us get our 2 early morning dives, i would help her run the boat up the intracoastal and help secure it.
We had the class of almost certified divers, Did a nice little site right near the inlet that was called hills and valley's Then, a quick surface interval a few circles in the boat, dropped in the same spot and told everyone we were on Rocks and Pebbles, Thats the best I could think up on short notice. Amazingly they all thought the second dive was a lot nicer than the first

Thanks for all the input. I'm leaning towards reef house, any specific pros or cons for this ai. Am i right in thinking it is located on the south shore but more towards the east end? Is this a good area to find smaller critters?

Your assumption is correct...Reef House Resort is on the south side of the island towards the east end. The south side is smaller critter heaven

Two of the more popular are Mary's Place and Calvins Crack great swim throughs...Valley of the Kings is one of my favorites as well as Castle Canyon all of these sites are on the south side.....I do like Turtle crossing on the west end..
