Comments CoCo View describes itself as a "land-based liveaboard" in that you can dive around the clock. This is an apt description - you can dive any time day or night. There are two two-tank boat dives daily and shore diving as you want. Nitrox is available, even in 100CF tanks. Service is a hallmark of CoCo View and that has not changed over the years. The food is great, there is frequent entertainment at night and they are always willing to assist you. I would say that it’s the easiest dive trip you will do – they take care of everything (except air reservations). Getting to/from Roatan is easy as well.
One thing that has changed over the years is that there seems to be less larger creatures. For example, on this trip I didn’t see a turtle, while I had seen many in the past. I only saw one shark, while I had also seen many more in the past. The reef fish, the small invertebrates and the coral somewhat make up for this though. Every dive was enjoyable.
One thing to note is that this a place for diving – there are some other activities, and they can take you to town, but there is not that much to do otherwise. There is no TV, but there is Wi-Fi, although it was clearly over-saturated at times.
It’s a great place and I’ll be back.
