Trujillo, honduras diving

[sdmaize]

Hello fellow divers,
I am taking a cruise in a couple weeks and will be stopping in Trujillo for a few hours. I can't seem to find a lot of good info on diving out of Trujillo... is it worth it or should i do a land based thing instead? I will be diving Cozumel and am deciding between Belize and Trujillo...

Thanks for any guidance

Merissa

I don't actually think there's any diving there yet.

It's was a small little village until someone put in a private cruise port recently - like last year. Claim to fame is the Columbus landed there first.

So go with Belize. Specifically Hugh Parkey's if they work with your cruise line since they'll pick you up off the ship while everyone else tenders in.

Trujillo is not yet well-known for diving. If you do go, please post something.

Between the latter 2---I'd definitely go with Belize......

It probably still is a smallish village... Sea Sports Belize is the only operator I can seem to find in Belize City (where we are docking)... Is there another?

Hugh Parkey's Dive Connection handles cruise ship diving for some of the other lines that go there. I don't think you're docking either - unless it's a real small ship, the other cruise ships moor out and everyone is tendered in. Parkey's has an arrangement with some of the lines to pick up directly off the boat.

I've been diving, non-recreationally, in and around Trujillo Bay.

If if the choice is between that and Belize, I would take an easily decided pass on Trujillo.
