Its that time of the year when that first Nor'easter hits and you say, "Screw it! I'm going south!" I do it every year! I love the Caribbean! One of my favorite activities to do down there is go Scuba Diving.
The place that I have been recommending to many people lately is Roatan, Honduras. Roatan is about 30 miles off the coast of the main land of Honduras and is the largest of the Bay Islands. Roatan is great for diving, and also if you are a getting certified it is the perfect place. The visibility is great, the currents are calm, and the price is right on.
I recommend staying in West End. It is the tourist area of the island, which I sometimes stay away from. Although when it comes to the dive shops and places to stay, it's the best option.
There is a little dive shop I found on the island called Bananarama. The shop has lodging, great prices, and amazing staff! Its right on the beach! All you have to do is grab your gear and walk in for a shore dive, or just jump on a boat for a very quick trip to one of the beautiful reefs off shore.
Continental, United, and Delta all have direct flights from the hubs in the US.
Underwater shot was made with a great Canon point and shoot and the Canon brand waterproof houseing. The houseing is depth rated to 40 meters. The links are beloew for the camera and housing at Amazon.
