Sam, You will have a great time on the Island. I have been going there with my family for 3 years now and have never felt like I had put them in harms way. I actually feel less threatened there with my son ( 9) and daughter (8) than anyplace I have taken them and I have been dragging them around to foreign countries since they were babies. I travel to Roatan at least 5 times a year to work on a project I am doing on the east end in Camp Bay and my wife and children always come for about six weeks in the summer. I will actually be there when you are and I DO NOT feel the least bit worried about going because of recent events. If I were planning on making my first trip to Roatan knowing what I know about the place as well as the people I would not think twice about it. I live in Florida and have done my best to shelter my children from the criminal elements that they are surely to come into contact with living here and while I am on Roatan I get to just enjoy them not worrying about is someone going to target them. I have purchased property there and feel as secure about that investment as I do with any other one I have in the States. So, Sam (and anyone else considering) take your trip and enjoy the beautiful people of this very unique Island and delight in what I believe is some of the worlds best diving. Invest if you are looking for what will probably be one of the last great Caribbean investment opportunities and feel secure in doing so. I have to say that in going to Roatan and, trying to accomplish what I am, I have found myself in some really off the main path areas and I have never at anytime ,night or day, felt unsafe. But I have always treated the Islanders with respect. I am not saying that Roatan does not have its fair share of issues but in comparison they are in my opinion eclipsed by the enjoyment and beauty that Roatan has to offer. As for a good dive shop and great diving you will get that at a very reasonable price from nearly any on the Island and yes bring some bug spray just like you would need if you were to visit Florida.

I have to admit that my hopes for a great vacation have been somewhat overshadowed by the constant stream of emails about crime. Certainly I want to know that it is good to be cautious when traveling, but I'm getting the impression that I'm headed for trouble. If the criminals don't get me, the bugs will! > > I know there must be so much that's good about Roatan for people go back over and over again and even buy property and move there. So I would love to hear from those of you who are repeat visitors or residents and help me to anticipate reasons why I will enjoy my visit too. > I would specifically love some recommendations of dive sites to visit since I am an avid diver. > > > > ----------- > Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! > Yahoo!
