Just returned from Utila and Roatan. Was in Utila from 4/23 to 5/02 and then in Roatan until 5/13. Had a great time in Utila at Cross Creek Dive Center and at Foster's West Bay in Roatan. Loved Utila!! Everything was really top notch and we can't wait to go back next March when the whale shark season is in full swing!!
On Roatan it was a bit spoiled because there was very little wind where we were and the sand flies almost ate us alive. Friends who were on the South side of the island at the same time said they had very little problem with bugs this trip. However, the diving was great and the staff at Fosters and the Octapus Dive School were super. I would not hesitate to go again, but not without a quart of industrial strength deet!!
Check out my dive report at scuba.royalcs.com Utila report is posted now and the Roatan part should be up sometime this weekend. Lots of pictures!! (Some of them are even good)
