Roatan 082209

Made it in after a comfortable flight. Weather is hot and the air is heavy but that would be expected. CocoView (CCV) is literally right on the water.

Went thru an orientation dive and got a briefing on the wreck in the 'front yard'... the Prince Albert. Then to Newman's Wall and CocoView Wall. Both will be the landing point for the 'drop off' dives in the morning and afternoon. The drop-off is seems is when the boat is heading in and you literally drop off the boat as it cruises in. It makes for a bit of an open water feel as you make your way done the wall and back to CCV. The water was bath-like averaging 85 degrees. Most were diving in shorties or shorts. CCV has been set up as a big-kids playground oriented for diving.

We'll leave in the morning after another briefing. Should prove to be a full day of diving. If the vis and the water temps today are any indication, the week should be great for diving.

Stuwahluski,

Expect a day or two to have reduced viz on CCV wall the Prince Albert, but those are the days to swim over to Newman's and explore all the cuts going in and out of the wall from around 40 fsw and above. Watch down deep, below 70 fsw for flights of eagle rays.

Have at it man, a down a Monkey LaLa for me. BTW, Is/was Michelle there at the bar? If so, tell her Max Trouble said Hi!
