Small (single) world. I'm in same boat so to speak. Lost my scuba partner a few months ago, new certified diver (though I've done a fair bit of tropical "resort" diving beforehand, and am searching through the board for info on Roatan for a trip a local L.A. dive group is making Aug. 14. They're staying at Anthony's key resort. Sounds pretty good - my biggest concern is the weather and the cost. I intend to keep searching for buddies but will go on trips as a single if I have to (you never have to dive alone) - it's just too much fun.
