Really? Where were you doing all this "pretty advanced diving" off of
Roatan?

No, it isn't. It's for the lobster divers.

Normally, I recommend taking your diving course at home, and as you said (or
someone said) taking the time to let it all sink in (no pun intended).
Scuba is a safe activity if you take your training seriously.

That doesn't mean that if you intend to take a vacation to learn to dive,
that one can't learn to dive on vacation. Seems to me, that if that is a
person's intent, then Roatan is an excellent choice.
