... chromis, blue tangs and a spiny lobster. I really enjoyed this dive, mostly because of the visibility, but a lot of fish helped too. Buddy: Laura Max Depth: 36.1 Time In: 08:34           Time out: 09:05 ...

... white octopus!  It was really amazing, I usually dont like it when we see an octopus, but this was little so not too scary. Buddy: Laura Max Depth: 11.4 Time In: 15:30           Time out: ...

... , I could already sense my air consumption was better by the end of the dive though. Next was our  Navigation dive, we were split into our buddy groups and navigated round the white rock naturally, and also with a compass, we had to do a square by ...

... Herman. We grabbed lunch, discovered the joy of the hammocks at the dive shop (Manta Dive- GREAT!!) and rested up. The afternoon dive was Manta Point. There was better coral and colors. We saw 2 baby white tips, and adult white tip, cuddle fish- ...

This dive was great.  Not only did I have my favourite buddy back, but the diving in Roatan really was amazing. Again, the Caribbean sea was warm and there was no need for a wetsuit.  Richard was a little reluctant at first, but as soon as we ...

... had to go up first, especially because as soon as we got back in the boat we saw a pod of dolphins swim past about 100m away! Buddy: Gary Max Depth: 18m Time In: 10:00       Time out: 10:40       ...
