Comments	We took our first trip to Roatan this year after diving throughout the Caribbean. My wife is a non-diver so finding places that cater to both divers and non-divers is pretty challenging. In looking at Anthony's Key, Coco View, and others, Barefoot looked like it would offer something for both of us. If you have a non-diver in yoru family or want a great place to hang on your surface interval, this is the spot for you. The dive operation is top notch. If you are staying at the resort, all you have to do is talk to Liona or any of the dive masters in the dive shop to be put on the manifest for the next day's dives. They blend their own Nitrox and the fills are consistently around 32% O2. The staff will set up your gear for you, and when you return, they will rinse and hang your gear on a locker with your name on it. They will take divers from other resorts if you don't want to stay there and prefer the action on the West End. As far as the diving goes, one of the best dives on the island is Mary's Place and it is right outside of the resort, like a 3-minute boat ride. Many West End operators will send their divers up to Barefoot because it is about an hour steam from the West End. The reef was in great shape with plenty of schooling fish. Didn't see too many large animals. There were a few spotted eagle rays, some Caribbean king crab, and the occasional free-swimming green Morays. If you are into macro work, there are plenty of banded shrimp, neck crabs, and flamingo tongues to practice your craft. There are two wrecks on this side of the island: Mr. Bud and Prince Albert. Prince Albert has a little bit of everything- off the wreck is a sunken plane and off of that is a reef. We loved the resort, I loved the diving and the excellent staff. Will go there again.

UW Photo Comments	There is a camera bucket on the boat but it was a small 5gallon. If you bring a big rig, let the dive shop know and they will accommodate. There isn't a work space at the shop but I bet they would let you use the classroom if you needed to spread out in a dry area.
