Hunting the lion fish and feeding them. Pretty cool.

Did you do any topside excursions, or just hang out in between dives?

Turquoise Bay Resort gets good reviews, as do some competitors. What led you to choose them for your trip?

Thank you for your comments Panpangato, The wreck dive was okay, but nothing special. You probably will see a grouper and a crab. Corals were very healthy, but not very colourful. You may not see colors as in my video, as I was using red filter. Nice topography although. Many canyons, caves, etc. Also, there were not many fishes.

We did not do any topside excursions, only 3 dives/day. We wanted to go to Anthony's Key Resort or Coco View Resort, but they did not have anything available for days we wanted. Turquoise Bay Resort is quite good, but a lot of walking and hiking.

Is it normal for Roatan to have so few fish?
