    Sorry Marge,

    I'm not sure which is concidered the bungalows are they the privately owned
    homes?, I always stay in one of the cabanas over the water. The sound of
    the
    water always relaxes me. (although I don't need alot of help after 5 or 6
    dives
    a day. I really liked Cocoview. It is not luxury but it is very functional.
    The
    rooms are basic about the only problem I encountered is that the water
    pressure
    is very low. I do avoid the rooms that are not over the water. I have found
    that they don't get as much breeze as the cabanas over the water. The food
    is
    great and very plentyful. It is served cafeteria style.

    Your day will consist of breakfast, a morning boat dive where you will be
    taken
    to a dive sight away from the resort for 1 tank. You will then have surface
    interval time and be dropped off in front of the resort for your second
    dive.
    Then lunch, The afternoon boat dives, the same as the morning but differing
    sites. Then supper, and then you are free to do night dives (more than 1)
    from
    shore. (Nite dive is right dive).

    During the week they have diversions from island tours (usually friday) to
    party night on hawksbill cay (used to be run cay).

    I really loved the operation at Cocoview but I have since purchased a place
    in
    sandy bay so I don't stay there anymore.

    Bill, Steve must have gotten my message confused. I'm Marge, and I wrote
    the
    dive site questions. Never having been to Roatan, I'm curious about what
    you
    think of Cocoview. We will be staying in Bungalow A or C. Do you have
    access
    to pictures of Cocoview. Their ad in the dive mags. sucks. I'd like to see
    pics of rooms and locations of rooms. What the restaurant looks like, etc.
    Thanks for the info. Did you dive when you went there? Marge

    Cocoview determines which sites they will take you to. While large groups
    have
    some input as to were they would like to go, if you are going as a small
    group
    they will put you on a boat with others. On the positive side I have been
    to
    Cocoview 3 times and all of their sites are quite good (mostly walls).
    February is a great time to be there( or is it that your not up here?).
    Cocoview will have you do an inspection dive on sunday morning and you
    will
    be
    free to dive dunday afternoon.

    Good Morning, All,
    Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the dive sites on the south shore
    of
    Roatan. As you all know by now, we'll be diving with Cocoview. I've seen
    the
    dive site list. It's not very complete. Where's the best sites. Is the
    visable good in February? Since we'll be flying in on Saturday, is it
    safe
    to
    dive Sunday?
