Honduras and the Bay Islands

They Did It!

Advanced diving at Roatan
... advanced course on the second day and this involved two dives, comprising a deep dive to 30m and a navigation dive. The reef on Roatan is literally a 5 minute boat ride from the shore, which is a big advantage over diving on Utila, where most dive sites ...

Snorkel fishing...contradictory?
