Re: Scuba Diving in Roatán, Honduras - March 2020 (4K)

I'd like to hear more about both your travel experiences getting to and around Roatan as well as your dive training.  (Who is training you, what part of the island are you diving, hows the situation there underwater?)

I missed my yearly September trip to Roatan this year for the first time in 6 years.   I always dive around Oak Ridge with Reef House Resort.   In the past, I've dove there over 170 times, and I think I was only on one or two dives where we did not see (and usually spear) a lionfish.   My divemaster was very good about cleaning them out on dives, not to mention he frequently took some home for lunch.   The effect seemed to be that he was keeping the numbers in check somewhat around those dive sites at least.  Without divers for 9 months, I wonder how the lionfish situation has changed, if any.     And other fish populations too, but I've seen areas with lots of lionfish in the past, and there weren't that many other fish to see in those areas.
