Hi Bob, I've not stayed at FI but am somewhat familiar with their operations. Hope this helps: > A group of divers and non divers 18 in total are going to fantasy > island resort on the 10th of march for 2 weeks. Is shore diving > available and easily accessible? Shore diving from FI is easily accessible. The resort is on one side of a litte cove, with CoCoView Resort on the other side. A fabulous wall extends on either side of the cove. In the middle of the cove it is a sandy area with an old ship sunk, the Prince Albert. It is a nice dive by itself; what most do is go check out the ship a little then head over & dive along one of the walls. I have been told that there is one small inconvenience - it is a few minute walk from the dive gear room to the entry point. No problem if you're in good health but if schlepping your gear is a problem they will do it for you (but you might have to wait a few minutes for an available employee to get your gear to the entry point). >What is the length of time of boat ride to dive sites and cost for a >2 tank boat dive? Most of the sites are pretty close, some as close as a few minutes. Most no more than 20-25 minutes. That's one of the big appeals to Roatan - no hour+ boat rides. >Having been in cozumel "el norte" shuts down the dive boats is this >common in roatan? It is pretty unusual for things to be shut down on Roatan. The island is wide enough & high enough that things are usually safe on whichever is the leeward side at the time. Most all of the resorts have arrangements with a friendly competitor on the other side. If things are rough on the South shore they might bus you to the north shore & have the boats meet you there. >What is the food like at the resort is it local or americanized? Can't help you here, I've not eaten at the resort. But the beers are local. ;) Enjoy your trip, Gregg | |
