Hola! This is my 5th day here and I'm having a blast! I'm doing very good staying on my plan plus I'm getting over 1000+ calories a day just from 3-4 div es a day so I think I'm covered for the few extra bites here and thgere that are so hard to journal.  The weather has been just beautiful. We're getting an occasional shower at night and the sea breezes keep everything so cool. We've even turned of the A/C and opened our windows.....totally unheard of at home! I've gotten some good photos but am not taking the camera on all dives...nice not to have the hassle on some of them! Today we had a great dive with a Hawksbill turtle that swam with us almost the wholoe dive.

Just thought I'd check in and let ya'll know I'm staying on program even here in Paradise!  Off to read a few posts so I don't miss too much!

Dee I must have missed when you said where you were !!!   I doubt that it is Houston or Galveston though.   LOL   I know the humidity has to be the pitts there !!!!   it is SOO HUMID here in DFW area.   Can't imagine how it is there.    Sounds like maybe Hawii ????   Glad your having a great time in "Paradise"  wish I was there too.

Sorry....I was excited!  Amanda's right....we're in Roatan, Honduras at CoCo View Resort, our home away from home! Believe it or not, the humidity is about the same as Houston when we left but the sea breezes make up for it.

Off to the dive boat....

You will have to tell me where the good dive spots are in Roatan.  I am getting my dive cert in June and on a cruise from Port Canaveral in December; Roatan and Belize are stops on the cruise and I wanted to be able to dive in either or both places!!

Congratulations, you're gonna love it!  Too bad there's no diving around Galveston.

The cruise director can usually make the arrangements for diving on your stops. This resort is on the south side of the island, quit a ways from the cruise pier but if you want to catch a taxi, I know we do get the occasional cruise diver doing shore dives. I'll ask around and get recommendations for dive ops closer to the ship.

When I worked in AL, one of the guys I worked with said the "Flower Gardens" out in the Gulf off of either Freeport or Galveston is a good place to dive.

The class is in Huntsville, TX the first weekend in June.  I'm hoping they will have some info on local places to practice before I go out of the country to do this.

Have fun and bring lots of pictures back to share!!

The Flower Gardens can be a great dive but it's not for beginners. It's 100 miles off shore and not the place you want to be in case something goes wrong when you're new at it. August and Sept. are the best months to go, the seas are most likely to be flat with no currents. The other times of year you take your chances, things can change in a matter of hours. There are several Places to practice. You'll most likely do your check out dive in the quarry there, the Blue Lagoon. Let me know when you do your checkouts and we'll come up and meet you!  There's also Mammoth Lake closer to home for you. We'll get you ready before your trip!
