I will be traveling to San Pedro Sula, Honduras in a week or two. I
have Advanced Open Water Certification.

I realize that the Bay Islands are about 1 hour away by air but was
wondering if there are dive locations near the city itself inasmuch as
it's near the coast.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sy

How about Microtel's Pool. Joking :-) Sorry, don't know of any diving
near the city. If you've got the time definitely head to the Bay Islands
and when you finish diving trek on over to Copan and explore the ruins.
Honduras, awesome!

Actually, my plans are to fly into Roatan on Saturday, Feb. 11th., but
the 10 day forecast is showing lots of rain.

I need to have a backup plan. I guess I could fly to Liberia, Costa
Rica but that would mean forfeiting my 7 day pre-paid stay at the
Fantasy Island Hotel on Roatan.

Any advice will be appreciated.

You get the email I sent you? There is one hotel with a PADI dive shop
in Puerto Cortes, about 40 minutes north of San Pedro Sula.

Don't worry about the rain. You'll be under water most the time. My last
trip to Honduras was during the rainy season and I still had a great
time. Dive, Eat, Sleep, Dive, Dive, Dive! Have a great time.

Thanks for your comments and I plan to do that and hopefully to get
some sun too.
