Trip Report Turquoise Bay Resort Review Part 1 - the resort

[CajunDiva]

The most active tourist spot is West End and West Bay. While the diving is great there, the "undiscovered" beauty of the more eastern parts of Roatan provide the best scuba diving opportunities to observe the things I love.

CocoView has maintained a stellar reputation for years and kept the divers coming. I suspect it won't be long before places like Media Luna Resort on the south side and Turquoise Bay Resort on the north side will be packing them in as well. Seen the latest issue of Alert Diver???

Seen the latest issue of Alert Diver???

Yes, two of my favorite Caribbean dive destinations were featured, Roatan and Tobago

I think Ron Frinks article made me laugh a bit when he made reference to "all the beautiful beaches".

It made reading the rest of the article a bit hard.

Thanks for the info. I am scheduled to visit this resort for 10 days next month. Then, I'm going to take the ferry over to Utila Dive Center for about 10 more days. Looking forward to the visit. I have a whole new set of gear, so my goal is to get in the pool, test things out before leaving, then dial in my muscle memory on the trip. Taking my soft pack on this trip because it'll be my first trip using the long hose configuration, so I want to get used to that on it's own. Next trip I will add in the travel backplate to the mix. I have my new Dive Rite XT4/XT1 set of regs, new Hollis M1 and Apeks VX1 masks, and my new Scubapro Go Sport fins to try out. I'll post some feedback about the resort when I get back

Oh yeah, and I snagged a store demo Teric and Swift transmitter combo for like $1100 I'm taking along- my first dive computer! Hopefully, the dive tables stay in the save a dive kit.

..,,the dive tables stay in the save a dive kit.

For the quantity of diving that you’re about to do your dive tables will be inoperative & useless for that.

Go nuts, leave the tables st home.
