Was on a cruise dived Cozumel and Roatan
It was sprinkling when we dived Roatan visibility was ok.It was nice but I liked Cozumel better. Cozumel had a lot more sea life and was a drift dive. I my humble opinion if I was going to go dive for a week at one it would be Cozumel. |

Interesting. I thought Roatan was THE dive destination in that part of the world.

Been to Cozumel many times and exclusively used Dive Paradise and staying at the Barracuda. Due to the currents drift dives are the most prevalent. It always amazed me how the boat captains kept track of their divers even though multiple boats were on the same site.
The lady I remember who ran the place was Apple. Unfortunately she has passed on, hopefully to a better place. |

Cozumel for the win.
It however went down hill when the cruise ship terminal was built |

If I had to pick one based on diving both, I'd probably go with Cozumel. I might choose differently if it was between Cozumel and Guanaja and diving was the only factor.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By eracer: Interesting. I thought Roatan was THE dive destination in that part of the world. The wind pattern and ocean currents in Roatan are a lot stronger, making actual days to dive for a casual diver a lot fewer per year. I own a small chunk of land on Roatan on the NW side and lease it to a Canadian wind surfing outfit. |

In Cozumel we used a Dutch Lady named Rosie, she was awesome! Unfortunately passed on as well.

If you like drift diving, Cozumel is very good. Roatan can have currents in some dive sites on certain days as well.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By eracer: Interesting. I thought Roatan was THE dive destination in that part of the world. That's was my understanding as well. It was sprinkling on the surface so that cut down visibility. I had a sea turtle swim right beside me for a good way also. Reagan is definitely a good dive. Costume had more sea life an a larger variety of sea life during my dive. |
