COCO VIEW RESORT HONDURAS BAY ISLANDS
A cozy secluded retreat above water…
an awesome and colorful spectacle below.

CoCo View Resort has that rare ambiance that's usually assigned, quite by accident, to special occasions or perhaps a favorite pair of comfy old deck shoes. You'll feel as soon as you arrive. No more planes, no more cars. You are secluded on a private peninsula with trade breezes blowing, the sea slapping the beach, and an orange sun setting into a fathomless hole on the other side of the mountains. Just give your plane tickets to us. We'll let you know when it's time to go home. Everything from here on is an ever deepening journey into tranquility, dotted with some of the most eye opening and truly extraordinary diving in the Caribbean. Famous CoCo View Wall is less than a hundred yards from the beach - just perfect for the quality and quantity of diving that you came to the Caribbean for. The wrecks of the Prince Albert is just offshore her keel in 65 feet of water and her silent bow resting near the lip of a 12,000 ft. deep ocean trench. Boat dive sites are only minutes away, and there are scores of phenomenal under sea formations teeming with marine life. So relax and enjoy. The food is great, the diving is wonderful and life is fine. But when we wake you from your hammock to give you back your reconfirmed plane tickets, don't try to tell us you can't go home because you lost your shoes. We've already heard that one.

Let's just say that the staff, some of whom are pictured here, from kitchen help to owners, will be more like first name friends than staff. It only takes a day or so… This picture was taken fro the front porch of the clubhouse, just a few steps from the "sunset enhancing station"… we call it the bar. Surface interval activities include darts, board games, pool table, ocean kayaking, audio visual and book libraries, bar-b-ques, hiking, fishing, photo, specialty courses, and lots more.

Every room is oceanfront. There's 25 of them in all: including 4 deluxe bungalows, 9 air-conditioned beach rooms. All have porches or balconies, 2 beds, and a private bath The famous walls, cracks, and reverse ledges of Roatan's protected south shore are literally minutes away. Take a boat trip to a site like Calvin's Crack, above, an awesome rift torn through the reef by ancient volcanic activity. Or turn the page for a sample of Coco View Wall, the beach dive 100 yards from your room. Your unlimited dive package includes wall, wreck, and night diving from shore as well as two boat trips every day. CoCo View beach diving (photo right and wreck dive below) is so good that many divers" miss the boat" on purpose! All around, the dive operation is first rate. No cattle boats here, and your gear is stored right on the dock. There are fresh water showers and dunk tanks everywhere, and a 150 bottle tank rack assures that there's air when you want it--- 24 hours a day! Tanks, backpacks and weights are provided with every dive package and complete gear rental, repair, and photoprocessing services are available. And non-divers love it. When they're not out on the dive boat snorkeling, they have the whole resort to themselves. Four sturdy vessels take the work out of boat diving. The EZ Divers I and II are 50 feet long, heavily built, and stable enough to service the U.S. Navy, which is exactly where Mr. Bill bought the hulls from. They even have a moon hatch, an alternative mid-ship entry way straight up through the keel! No banging platforms or hinged ladders to contend with even in a choppy sea. You make not want to challenge past guest, Bill Kutz's record: 7 tank's a day for six straight weeks, but as long as you stick to safe diving practices, there's nothing to keep you from trying. Grab a tank and go, anytime day or night.
