Comments	I had heard so many positive things about Roatan, that I was very excited to finally be diving there. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the quality of the experience. I thought the reefs were not nearly as rich as other places I've been in the Caribbean. Perhaps it was just an off-week as it had been stormy prior to our arrival and stayed windy and rainy most of our stay. In fact, the first two days of diving, we were bused to the south side of the island for our dives and the first of those days, only two dives were offered. Day three we finally could dive from the resort in the morning, but the afternoon and night dives were cancelled. Maybe it was the lousy weather we had, but I was not impressed with the marine life: no seahorses, octopus, stingrays or eagle rays all week. My group saw but one sleeping nurse shark and one scorpionfish for the week. Due to the poor visibility, I did not shoot any wide angle all week, sticking to macro photography only. Though the divemasters were very friendly, I thought they could have done a better job of pointing out more things. About the only critters they showed us (aside from the many turtles and a few free-swimming eels), were a couple of pipefish and lettuce sea slugs. I managed to find four neck crabs on my own, though they briefed them on several of the dives, but never pointed out any. Perhaps if they had slowed down, we would have seen more. To sum it up, I think Anthony's is geared more to the casual diver. If you want to maximize your diving, this is not the place. The accommodations were fine and the food was good. One positive: the bugs were almost non-existent this week!

UW Photo Comments	Not really set up very well for serious underwater photography. There is no dedicated camera room, so you have to lug your camera back and forth to your cabin. I ended up leaving my camera in my dive locker between dives. The boat crew did a good job of handling cameras while on board. There was one large bin on dive boat for cameras, but because of the rough conditions, I had to take my rig out and hold onto it during boat rides to avoid having it bang into other cameras.
