We woke up this morning and left our hotel to head to the airport. Today we had hope that we would make it to Roatan. Only once we landed would we actually believe it. When our plane took off, and again when it landed, everyone erupted in cheers.
Chloe met us at the airport. A driver took us to Coco View. We were in a 12 passenger bus of some sort. We drove for some time on the island. Then a boat took us the rest of the way to the resort. The resort is actually on an island of it’s own. Linda and I are staying in Bungalow A. Our accommodation is fairly private. The bungalow is built on stilts above the water. We share a single wall with one neighbor. Other rooms here often have two neighbors.
We have a dive locker for our gear near the boat we would dive on. The boat goes out twice a day. Each boat trip they do two dives. One is at a dive site. The second dive is a drop off dive. Tomorrow we will do a dive at a moored site. Then we will do a drop off dive with the dive master for our orientation dive.
We ate dinner and did a debriefing regarding diving at Coco View. A couple other guests cautioned us that the food isn’t good. I can see why someone would be disappointed in the food for the cost of the resort. But that being said it’s actually pretty good. The resort is a lot smaller than I imagined. I am guessing their capacity may be 50 guests. Although it certainly is less right now. Some people gave up trying to get here due to the two cancelled flights.
Linda and I played pool at the bar. They have a pool table that’s free, which is nice. No one else seemed interested in playing pool.
