Then you probably don't want to go. The good operators all try to get
out early-early-early and back in by 1 or so. When the Trades kick
up, the channel can get very rough.
Plenty of "operators" for snokeling trips. Just pick up one of the

afternoon molokini scuba or snorkel ?

js2004...@yahoo.com — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:06:48 UT

If you know of an operator doing an afternoon trip to Molokini,
ideally on Sundays, that you would recommend, please share. Scuba,
but snorkeling is also of interest. Don't care about numbers of
fellow-divers as long as you like the operator - even if they have a
crowded boat, do they still do a good job and take you to an

Who would you rather dive with?

Hi everyone,
Am contemplating a Costa Rican diving vacation around Christmas and would
like the collective experience out there to help make our dive op selection.
Have whittled down available options to Bill Beard's or Aqua Center Diving.
Which would you dive with and why?
TIA,
Jo

I don't participate when people treat the wildlife like some kind of
circus act, preferring to tell them what I think of their abusive
indulgence.
And I think they bloat themselves with water.

The same puffer thing happened to me about a year ago. Like the
backpacking credo, only leave your footprints, I thought it bad form to
stress the fish.

I don't remember the bald tires, I was too busy puking. Fortunately
they supply roomy barf bags on the flight.
Bah. All I remember from my Roatan trip was the DM that puffed up the
puffer. I'd never seen that in person before, and I had a hard time
convincing the dive shop group that I was with that puffing up puffers

The ferry to Utila is cheaper ($16), its twice daily, and doesn't
involve riding in a 20 year old Czechoslovakian turbo prop with an axe
on the bulkhead. The one we rode was a 22 knot catamaran. The princess
was busy transporting coconut fronds. The whole trip was about an
hour. We saved the turbo prop for the ride home. Did I mention the

He has a bud who just got back from diving the Honduran coast? Yeah,
right. Why offline anyway, is it some sort of secret? Shouldn't this
be the place to discuss the diving? But I digress.
The problem with diving the Honduran coast is simply runoff. It's a
muddy land with lots of rain and shallow water and that means the

Any decent diving near Tela or LaCeiba,Honduras?

Since both of these towns are on the Caribbean Coast of Honduras I was
wondering if there is any decent diving in that vicinity (not the Bay
Islands) or anywhere else on the coast?
Dive shops/hotel recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks

The water will be between 79-82 F, probably closer to the latter
figure. Guaranteed. It was real warm this summer, 84-85 at depth, so
it's extremely likely to stay above 80 into December. 3mm or even
less is just about fine for anyone who has skin since it's pretty warm
topside as well. Watch your ankles!
