| Subject: | [roatan] Re: Recommendations for apartmenthouse in Roatan - West coast |
Hi, You said 'chamber use availible'. I'm assuming that if I get DCI I'll be able to use the chamber regardless of who I'm diving with. I have DAN insurance, so cost is not an issue. We would like a dive shop that is willing to go to different sites, such as Mary's Place, and the East side sites. We don't want to get stuck with a shop that will only go to a few of the sites, and wants every diver up after 45 minutes. We're expereinced divers and would like some flexibility. Any shops that tend to cater to this type of diver? The last thing I want is to be on a cattle boat with a bunch of OW students.
