Hi,
I just came across this board when doing research on my jobs and
potential adventures for this upcoming summer. I had a few questions
that I was hoping people could weigh in on:

Does anyone know anything about what Operation Wallacea in Honduras is
like? What is the diving off of the Cayos Cochinos (specifically Cayo
Menor) like? What is the area that the camp is based in like? What
is the water temperature/visibility like for the Bay Islands in
Honduras?

Does anyone know anything about Sail Caribbean? What is it like to
work for them? Are there any dive sites in the BVI that shouldn't be
missed?

Also, is there any diving in Tela, Honduras? Should I bother to bring
my gear with me there if I go there?

Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I can only answer some of your questions. I'll simply point you to some of
my logs from the area. Please note that these are from the viewpoint of a
sailor who dives...

and for more information on Honduras:

Water temps in Honduras are in the upper 70s during the winter to low 80s
in the summer. Visibility can easily reach 100+ feet.
