Scuba Diving & Real Estate In Roatan
// September 12th, 2007 // No Comments » // Adventure Travel
I’ve been talking about it for 3 years, but finally did it. I went to Roatan to check out the Real Estate Market and look for vacation property. I have heard a lot of great things about the island of Roatan, which is in Bay Islands of Honduras and I wanted to see if the island was as great as I heard. The short answer is yes 
Roatan has several direct flights from the US. Continental has direct flights from Houston (about 2.5 hrs), Delta from Atlanta (about 2.5 hrs), and American from Miami (about 1.5 hrs), making Roatan a very quick and convenient destination. Roatan is also home of world class scuba diving and fishing. There are numerous dive shops in west end, but I did a little research before I went and had a good dive shop picked out before I arrived. I chose Coconut Tree Divers due to their highly qualified and trained instructors because I wanted to take some advanced scuba diving courses to further my scuba education. I ended up taking the Emergency First Responder course, and the Rescue course. Basically everything you need to know to rescue and administer first aid & CPR for scuba related injuries. It’s one of the best classes I’ve ever taken, and hopefully will never need to use it.
and that whole song and dance. I was getting a little burned out on poker, and could always use a vacaction. I’ve been playing poker professionaly for almost 6 years now and the truth is I can’t see myself doing much else. It can be pretty rewarding, both financially, and personally. You have a huge amount of independence and freedom that jobs and owning your own business don’t afford you. BUT, as great as poker is, its tough to stay motivated some time.
