Comments We did not know how bad the bugs would be! Would have paid more attention to putting on bug spray

The boat goes out twice a day . The second dive of each trip is a drop off on the reef and a swim back to shore . The "cut" and the way back is well marked. I thought it would be boring doing the same dive every day but it is easy to vary the route back along the wall, to the sunken boat, and follow the chain through the cut to the shore. It is a big area to explore.

CoCo View was not full so we had no more than 11 divers on our boat with one DM. Boats are big and when full, still only one DM. Taking pictures of what the DM finds can be challenging with all the divers.

It seems that all the typical Honduran life was there but not in abundance. We loved the underwater topo and corals,sponges,etc and the free swimming moray eels!

Our room was large, with AC, good internet and had coffee, fresh water and a refrigerator. And a private balcony. We stayed in a bungalow on the water.

We thought this was a very well run resort and dive operation and want to go back.
