Life Below The Surface

Scuba Diving provides a view to an entirely new world that few people (relatively) ever experience in their life. The posts in this blog will document my experiences as a Scuba Diver. I have 173 dives logged to this date - February 27th 2006. The rest are in the future, which I'll share in this blog. Cheers, Monty www.montychandler.com

Roatan Diving - April 2008


Another visit to Cocoview Dive Resort in Roatan Honduras has been completed. As in the past, I had a marvelous time. Thanks to Liz and her staff for a lovely stay and feeding me all too well! Also a special thanks to Patty at Dockside divers. One of the most pleasant ladies you will ever meet!

Our week was spent with Rueben as boat captain and Jesse as our Dive Master. Jesse is amazing at finding the critters and leading a dive. Our boat had a very experienced group of divers with a lot of photographers. Experienced is the key as everyone got their shots in a slow paced and courteous manner.

The underwater photos can be seen via this link. Lush coral, beautiful sponges, a few fish and macro life were all found again on this trip. I tried to limit the number of photos, but found it difficult to do. Neck crabs, Jawfish with eggs and Seahorses are some of my favorites.

On one dive, we saw one of the most unusual creatures I have ever seen. I did not get a photo as it was quick and hid under the coral about as fast as it had appeared. One of the other photographers did get a photo, although I have not seen it. The creature is called "The Thing" (Eunice roussaei). Hopefully I will one day see another as it was beautiful.

Enjoy the photos.

Cheers,
