Hey y'all! My mother and I are looking to go to Roatan on vacation sometime in May and I am hoping you might have some suggestions on places to stay and dive/snorkel operators to use.
Some quick background: We prefer to stay in smaller places (condos, houses, etc) instead of resorts. We want where we are going to be stay to be relatively quiet at night and for there to hopefully be no crazy parties going on next door. We are ok with staying slightly further away from the action and having to drive to get to the dive operator.
As far as diving/snorkeling... I am a diver, she is a snorkeler. We are hoping for recommendations on operators that cater to both or if you know of a good snorkeling operation she can go with while I am diving. We have been with operators that take both snorkelers and divers on the same boat, but they honestly cater more to the divers than the snorkelers and she comes away unhappy. So if I can put her on a snorkel boat then that makes my life better haha! As far as a dive operator, I am looking for a place that is ok with newer divers (I will have my AOW by the time of this trip, but I'm still a newbie). I don't mind paying extra to dive with a DM.
Any suggestions/advice you can give would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance
