Back to the OP, if it were me, I'd go. Take the nonstop from Houston to Roatan and visit coconut tree divers, you might decide to stay right there for your training. It's probably a little easier to quickly return to the U.S. from Roatan than from Utila if you get uncomfortable with the political situation.
I know from experience that $2400/month is no problem in the west end of Roatan. I'm sure that these days there are lots of very reasonable rentals available.
