Smiling Sue Posted June 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hello fellow scuba divers. Our family will taking the Western itinerary on the Allure in March of 2019. We will make stops in Coco Key -Bahamas, Cozumel, Roatan, and Costa Maya. Ideally we'd like to dive at 2 or 3 of the stops. Any advice on tour operators vs. using the tours with RCI? Favorite stops if you could only pick 3 sites? Many thanks. Ps - We are divers who dive about one week a year, and need to rent wet suits, tanks, equipment etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBKL Posted June 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Roatan is a must dive site. Anthony's is one of the best and was the plase the cruise ship excursion booked us through. Cozumel can be a great dive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpluvsdolphins Posted June 23, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Roatan go with the ship. It was fine. Other dive shops far away. Cozumel I always dive with Aldora, but they may not take cruise passengers and usually only have experienced divers. Most of the divers dive nitrox and they use steel tanks. If you have a group of six and prepay the full amount, give them enough notice, they MIGHT consider it. They are the best!! Maybe dive with Alison. Heard good things. Costa Maya go with Gypsea Divers. Husband and wife small shop. Email them. Cash only. Awesome diving. Those are the three. Bahamas only one major dive shop and the cruise line uses them. Very expensive for not much. Coco Cay is only a one tank dive. It's ok for a one time ever dive. Snorkel there instead Hope this helps Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXASMUNK Posted June 24, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Before cruise ships began calling on Roatan, it was a sleepy little island and one of the world's best kept scuba secrets. It is considered the 3rd best dive locale in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
