The Dedicated Dive Resort
Roatan, Honduras Bay Islands

See Cruising the CoCo View Wall, Skin Diver Magazine, August 1998.

CoCo View Wall - 100 yards from your ocean front room. True barrier reef wall diving
"A snorkel away from the bar."
 

All 25 rooms are ocean front with private porch or balcony - most are built over-water! Nine air
conditioned rooms and 4 deluxe bungalows are reservable in advance. The clubhouse features
2 dining rooms, bar, game room, and library.



Our fifty foot dive boats are stable, strong, and designed to give you plenty of
room and comfort. The "moon hatch," unique in the industry, allows entry
midships - the most stable part of a boat. There's 2 boat trips every day, that's
4 tanks from the boat if you do a drop - off on the way home! ..And did we
mention the easy wall diving from shore? Night diving too.

Surface interval beach toys are free. View from the air looking over Hawksbill Cay and the barrier reef - Yes, that's our beach dive.

A Shore Dive on the Prince Albert.

Thanks for dropping in. If you hang out with other divers, there's a good chance that you know some of our CoCoNut members. These are die-hard divers that have returned 5 times or more, and are responsible for giving CoCo View one of the highest return guest rates in the world. (And many of them swore they would never go back to the same place twice!) If you'd like to talk with someone who has already visited CoCo View, is familiar with the resort, and can provide you with low air fares, just call one of our diving reservationists at Roatan Charter 1(800) 282-8932.
