Greetings Travel Board Peeps,

I'm heading out to Roatan Saturday for a week of diving. We are staying in Sunnyside and our house has a pier that goes out to the reef. I rented an SUV for the week and looking for shore diving locations and restaurant/bar recommendations. It's our first trip to the island. My buddy and his son will be SCUBA diving and I'll be free diving. I've traveled a good bit throughout the Caribbean, including Belize and it's my understanding Roatan will be a similar experience. Thanks in advance!

Eat at Cal’s Temporary Cantina. It’s fantastic but don’t expect banter from Cal. His personality does not match the quality of his food.

Go to the extreme east end of the island and find La Sirena. It may be the most hole in the wall restaurant and bar on the world.

Iron Shore Grill at West Bay Beach is very good.

Before Roatan became Roatan, I and about 6 more friends from BR would go each year.

Made many dives in Roatan.. off Anthony's Key Resort, caves and eel garden....very special.
and also a few off Utila.
