Any scuba divers?

I'll likely be doing Bimini in September.

Googled imaged that and it looks incredible...that place has a little bit of everything. Always enjoy a good wreck dive.

Man this would be awesome. I need to renew my passport and do a combined scuba diving/Honduras trip.

Hit the islands off the north coast of Honduras. If you time it right you can see whale sharks.

I am not a scuba diver. I have never gone so take this as you will. I hear that the northern coast of Honduras has some of the best diving in the world. There is an island there that is supposed to be pure tourist crap and all set up. Try this link.

I have been there and can attest to how amazing it is there.

I was on a cruise, but I would imagine that would work also.

There is a large northern city in Honduras called San Pedro Sula. I am sure you can fly there then boat out to Roatan. OR you can go to Belize then over to Roatan.

I'd probably go with Belize, since it English speak!!

Cabo's the extreme southern part of California, theoretically.

Theoretically.

Who is that Zulu?

haha, unfortunately it was too windy so we went to a different reef. Sadly, most of the reef was dead except for the "offlimits" area. That sculpture park was intended as a solution to the recovery of the reef.

I spent a month in Utila diving in the bay islands of Honduras. Really nice balance of fish and coral- cheep diving as well. You can fly into san pedro sula and catch a boat over like stoked mentioned. Roatan is more popular, but Utila is a unique experience as there are no cars alowed on the island so people drive around in golf carts and scooters. More of a backpacker scene than a family scene...but that was 7 years ago.

I certified about ten years ago then went on a cruise and dove in Grand Cayman, Honduras, Belize and somewhere in Mexico. Before certifying I dove in Hawaii and Cancun. Mexico diving sucks, at least the two places I went. In either Honduras or Belize (forget which one) we saw a hammerhead (well, everyone else saw it and kept pointing at it but I never actually saw it). The guide, who'd been doing it for 15 years, said he'd never seen one before that.

Anyhow, taking the fam to Hawaii in a month and I'm making my wife dive. My favorite dive was actually my first dive ever in Hawaii (circa '99) with the turtles. The kids will also snorkel in Hanauma Bay.

Have a blast and be safe. Be sure to make your wife feel 100% safe and it'll be fun, otherwise, hell for both of you.
