The PADI Divemaster program is the next step in your training in diving. We had to do this in our favorite Island to dive, Roatan, Honduras. We spent 3 months in Roatan diving and learning then becoming PADI divemasters. We had a lot of fun with our instructors and had to eventually say goodbye. Not […]
We have been traveling in and out of the Island for years now and know the top things to do and places to go in Roatan. In fact, we realized that we have spent over a year here in all. The first time we came in 2012 we did our PADI Divemaster. The second time […]
It has been a while since we have been in the water. After leaving Honduras for our way down to Panama City, we have been focused on getting jobs and not spending money on SCUBA diving. Well, since we are no longer going to be working in Central America and decided to go back to […]
Our trip from Hanoi was a good one albeit long and arduous. We decided to take the train called the Reunification Express, which cost nearly the same as flights, yet more costly after you factor in hotels and food. The train was a 4 berth sleeper train with sleeping pads reminiscent of my days in jail […]
Night diving in Roatan Honduras is something special. The waters are crystal-clear with 100 foot visibilities, currents are practically non-existent and the water temperatures are consistently in the low 80s. We had the opportunity to take a PADI Divemaster Program while living in Roatan for 3 months. We got over 150 dives in the three […]
We had a great time in Saigon after our 3 month motorbike tour around Southeast Asia and are ready to begin our diving career in Roatan, Honduras. We sold our motorbikes (for less than we had hoped for) and we were set to leave Vietnam. Our flight left at about midnight and we were told […]
Ahhhh back to Playa Del Carmen and Starbucks!!! Yes a Starbucks only half a block away from our hotel. Traveling around Central America one would think the coffee would be exceptional. It’s not. In fact, we found it terrible. There were few espresso bars and the coffee used at guesthouses and hotels were schwill. We […]
We decided to go on two more fun dives in the morning. Shelly didn’t get to use hers that she got for free with her open water course, so we dove two more times in the AM. It was great diving! We took more underwater pictures (they need developing) and all in all they were […]
We woke up refreshed and found out we were doing our wreck dive today!!! The dive is at a wreck of a ship called the Halliburton. Evidently this was a ship that they used for some sort of shipping and was going to be destroyed or dismantled. The people of Utila bought the ship and […]
Yesterday we missed out on the whale shark excursion due to a hangover. Evidently we really missed out since they saw 8 whale sharks. Today we started our PADI Advanced Open Water Diver Course. You can pick 5 “specialties”. We chose Deep, Navigation, Night, Peak Performance Buoyancy, and Wreck. We did two dives this morning, and […]
