Paya Bay, Roatan -- recent experiences? (+)

[2Narced]

Posted this in the Central America forum and now I see there's a Bay Islands sub-forum where it probably should be. Man, you have a lot of forums and sub-forums here... Hopefully it's in the right place now, unless there's a "North-Side-Somewhere-in-The-Middleish-of-Roatan" sub-sub-forum I missed!

Came across a very negative post by mschaub about Paya Bay from last January, in which she said she felt she had to tell everywhere about her negative experience there and that it couldn't wait until she posted to report explaining it.

I'm admittedly new to scubaboard, and am impressed with the amount of information, but in a search, I don't see that she ever followed up to explain those negative comments.

Does anyone have any recent positive or negative things to say? I've read most of the archived comments, but just wondered if there's a fresh perspective out there.

Thanks,

This line of questioning about Paya Bay has been posed several trimes here before, always with similar result.

On an island that is undeveloped and has few choices, or if a dive-op is situated in an isolated and locally desirable dive zone, that might make an unknown or previously negatively reported dive-op worthy of pursuit. Neither reason is the case here.

Roatan has many well regarded and established options. In this case, there is little reason to be an "early adopter". Give it time... somebody elses.

but thanks for the confirmation. Perhaps that's the reason places like CocoView, which I really liked, thrive.

Mostly, I was curious as to what made the poster in question feel that it was so urgent to tell people a place was bad, but then not follow up with the promised report explaining what was bad.

Doesn't seem far, but then life's not fair, right?

Ah well, someplace else on Roatan or perhaps braving the flight confusion and heading back over to Utila instead. Think you'd agree either is better than winter in Illinois!
