DIVING-HONDURAS- ROATAN-BAY ISLANDS

...from TELA 1 hour taxi to LA CEIBA-from here 75 minutes ferry to ROATAN one of the island in a group of islands known as BAY ISLANDS in CARIBBEAN SEA off the coast of HONDURAS...
-
...ROATAN is a dream CARIBBEAN ISLAND with plam trees-blue ocean-shallow waters and real easy pace-PARADISE in every sense...
-
...we spend 9 days on ROATAN ISLAND just diving as the REEF is only 15 minutes away at the most from the coast by boat...
-
... here Pritti done 10 dives and Dipak 8 dives...
-
...in all our dives we use to dive with 2 dive-masters in a group of 8 people and with us we had ELI from ATLANTA who is also a professional underwater photographer and he took the pictures of Pritti and Dipak and some of the things that we saw underwater...
-
...to see some of the things that we saw click on to the LINK below...

...enjoy & be inspired...

...our dive shop-OCEAN CONNECTIONS-it was home from home-great bunch of people-we were real sad to leave them after 9 days of friendship...it backs on to the ocean...

...this area is known as WEST END...

...back of the dive shop...the boat bringing people back from dive...

...back of the dive shop as Kiki bring back empty Oxygen cylinders from the dive boat...

...our beautiful hotel right across the dive shop...we had a suite with kitchen -living room etc-we just wanted to stay here for ever-ROATAN is one place we know we will go back oneday...

....on our patio...we have enjoyed relaxing in hammocks all over the world...


...my favourite drinking hole in all my travel-this bar has COOL BLUE CARIBBEAN OCEAN in the front(see pix below this-VEDANTA playing in the water) and the back(see picture no2 above)-also watched few football matches here-the pix above was taken on the day REDS beat EVERTON 1 nil...

...Vedanta plays in the water at the front of my all time favourite bar as Dad watches REDS beating EVERTON inside the bar...with a few cold ones ofcourse...

...this less than a minute walk from our hotel...

...another place to enjoy some cool drinks---about 2 minutes walk from our hotel...

...WEST BAY beach...5km of pristine white sand and lashing of blue CARIBBEAN waters...10 minute taxi ride from our hotel...the waters are so shallow here...

...the SNOKERLLING was really good too...

...Pritti & Vedanta off snorkelling-I didn't see them for 2 hours...

...BOND GIRL back from her mission...

...I didn't snorkel much here but it was a good photo oppertunity...

...I sat round all day watching the traffic go by... with few cold SOL for company-with slice of lime of course

...and there I am...

...leaving ROATAN by ferry...this ferry hit the REEF few years ago...
