Just wondering if anyone has a sense of how Roatan is faring in the storm... I've heard reports both good and bad, thinking about heading to Fantasy Island in a week if things look good down there? Any news would be great!
Roatan - conditions after Wilma?

Hi
We are on the next Island Utila, I would expect the conditions to be roughly the same, at the moment here we have blue skies and will be diving tommorow.

So I am guessing you cancelled your trip to Coz?
Fantasy Island is the single most protected and absolutely the least affected resort by any weather that would pass near North to the Bay Islands. This is due to its harborage, breakwalls, and most of all it's Southside location.
Not in any way my first choice for diving in the Bay Islands, but if they had a few fronds of palm trees break loose- that would be about it.
If you've heard reports "both good and bad", and if "any news would be great", let me direct you to the "search" feature on SCUBA Board.
The Bay Island infrastructure is unaffected. Go, make bubbles, quit asking the same thing in different threads. It will be fine.

There are a few pix at http://www.divingonroatan.com/Virgogirl22:
Looks like some of the overwater restaurants have caved in...

Well... the CoCo View cam is back online, and I just saw 4 divers in the water. I would imagine they are ok.
Edit - well after further review... the cam is frozen. So let's hope they're ok.

Was at COCO View during Wilma - COCO View and Fantasy Island are fine since they are on the south shore - North Side of Island - not so good.
I would go ahead with Fantasy Island plans.

Totally protected????
I've heard from friends on Roatan that other than a few places in West End (Sueno Del Mar/ Eagle Ray, Bungalow 7/ C-bar {picture of green building and huge wave is there} and Seagrape) most damage was to docks and roofs from limbs falling. Roads are being cleared and they are due to get a shipment of fuel on Monday. Power, phone and internet service has been spotty but improving greatly over the last 24 hours. Seas are still a little rough, but there were a few dive boats going out (Fantasy Island was one of the resorts). At the airport planes are landing at taking off, but the computer system that handles reservations is down still. Many places in the road have fallen trees and limbs that are getting cleared out of the way. All in all, things are returning to normal and will probably be running just fine by next week- so go have a great time diving!

All of the photos shown on www.coconuttreedivers.com were taken in West End. The municipality has been brilliant in the clean up operation and we are hoping its business as usual Monday. The waves are still a little high compared to usual. Diving on the South side right now. Most of the damage caused by Wilma was in Sandy Bay and West End.
