Roatan can be pretty advanced diving. Suggest you take All the pool
and classroom work available to you in your local Before you go down
there.

Take a few weeks to do all this, so you have '"Sink In" time for all
the equipment handling / bouyancy control / Clearing / decompressin
theory.

Was at Anthonys Key resort in April. Excellent facility, great diving;
great food, great staff, great guests...

- but they do have a chamber there, as well as a medical staff,

and it's doubtless not just for decoration.

It's truly great diving down there, but go down there prepared.

resort courses are great, unless something goes terribly wrong.

Take all the pool / classroom work up here first.
