I can't speak for Kim, but I've been in every room type at all of the AI's
on Roatan, I've eaten meals at them, I've been diving on their boats. That
includes IoLR, BIBR, FIBR, AKR and CCV. (and a few day trip ops and defunct
ops as well)

This will be my my 26th (?) trip to Roatan, and once again I'll stay and
dive with CoCoView.

It has the serendipity of being on the South side- better sea conditions,
better reef structure, more established moored dive sites. It has the best
boats (as they were specificaly designed for the S  side... they have holes
in the bottom!) and it has the only real shore dive in Roatan. Period.

Under it's new ownership, you will prolly see an easier access for dived-out
divers to vans to the West End and main island activities. Being at CCV, you
are on your own private ten acre island... no security worries, but morfe
time consuming to go off property.

I too often muse at the statements by many that "this place was just the
best!"... and having no real basis for comparison.

Some dubious claims are easy to spot, as in "The diving in Jamaica is world
class", but some are a bit harder to sniff out. If you want to see real

February? Should be getting on to the warm and dry season. Look for whale
sharks around the full moon.
