Chilly--I tried to reply to you directly, but my email came back

I didn't know there was a car rental office in West End. This might be an option-for perhaps a couple of days to reach the other parts of the Island.
Do you remember the name?


See: Delzie's
Apartments. I absolutely love it, but it has never been available for
booking when I've been there. Of course, it is also more money than
Seabreeze. Your back may thank you for paying a bit more for the better
bed. Thanks, I'll check Delzie's out.

I'm assuming you have a mesh backpack style gearbag? Yes

Stay at Seabreeze (or Delzie's) and dive with one of the shops close by,
would be my recommendation.

All in all, what would be your first three choices of dive shop? I prefer shops whose staff doesn't have a huge turnover, obviously.

That's because you have to remove the "nada".

http://www.roatansalesandrentals.com/rental-cars.htm Note that it is just
below the apartment that I'm recommending. Owned by the same people, Marco
and Delzie. At the bottom of the page, click on Delzie's Apartments and
check out the one bedroom Beach Apartment. Geez, I shouldn't be telling
about this place. It is hard enough for me to get into now.

Then go with Pura Vida. Dive on their boat the Sophia. It's a better boat
than most of the other shops have and Juan has been DM there longer than any
of the other places in the immediate area have kept theirs. Most of these
shops are just running the ex-pat young people through the PADI system, know
what I mean? I really enjoyed my time with the young people that were
working at West End Divers last month, but I also know that some of my
favorites have already gone on to other shops.

OTOH, you can decide when you get there. Do a little tour around of Ocean
Connections, Reef Gliders, West End Divers and Pura Vida. Talk to the
people at each, check out their boats and operation, see what strikes you.

I didn't dive with them, but I stayed there and liked the room, so I'd
agree with chilly's recommendation.

You are the one that doesn't understand my sense of humor. I'm insulted.
So you go first.
