Looks nice IMO

You're right. That looks really good. The biggest problem is choosing which dish to get on any particular day. It all sounds good.

Obviously I offered a poorly stated question.

On Roatan, if we’re doing a drift dive I assume team members will follow their DM, just like we did in Cozumel.

If we also have non-drift dives, how is the dive managed (by the DM)? Team members, just pair up and do buddy dives in the area and not follow their DM?

Just wondering what to expect?

I have been going to Roatan since 2017....usually twice a year. 9 trips in total now

There really isn't as much "drift diving" per se (not like Coz at least). But I did get lucky last year and caught a decent drift and we all stayed with the DM.

Mostly the DM goes along and points out where to "cool" stuff is. Depending on the experience of your group will determine how the DM acts and reacts in the water. IF you let them know beforehand that there are certain things you want to see, they will be more than happy to show you. I have ALWAYS had great luck with the DM's in Roatan - more than I have had elsewhere.

If this is your 1st trip -- I think you will truly enjoy yourself. It became my FAVORITE place to spend 7 days the first time I went.

BTW.... This was list year's sunset and it was epic

I always enjoyed the trip out of Port for a night dive at AKR.
The line of boats leaving the port just at sunset is quite a sight.
For some reason memories from Apocalypse Now ran through my head every time our boats were heading out together.

On the checkout day, I'm thinking about taking the ferry over to Utila for another week or two. I dove out of UDC a couple years ago and they have an Inn that was like 25 bucks a night for a really basic single room with AC. Anyone else interested? I can only take a couple dive trips a year and I'd like to leverage my plane fare and get 2-3 weeks out of the trip. You would fly in and out of Roatan and take a ferry to Utila and then back for the return home flight.

I love the smell of neoprene in the morning...

I love the smell of neoprene in the morning...

.....maybe for the first day or 2 of a trip....after a week of diving 3+ X /day, maybe not so much.
