Here are some pics of the Reef House operation.
I should mention that right now they are in mourning. For the last 3-4 years, they had a nice young man named Ashton Jackson working as a bartender there. Everyone knew him. He got married to his long-time girlfriend at the Reef House on May 1. 3 weeks later and he is dead from pneumonia, at least partly because he didn't have the money for treatment.
But ... in happier times:
The boathouse is the first view you get of the operation.
As you walk past their gate, you get the first view of the hang-out area.
Dining area set up[ for lunch for me and the one other diver there in September. This is in 2014, but typical. It's one reason I go in September.
The dive boat Captain Morgan set up for three dives for me, my buddy and the divemaster. So nice to come in September when you have the boat virtually to yourself!
The evening view. See this pretty much every night.
This is Davey, the owner of the Reef House taking me over to Hole in the Wall.
Longtime boat captain Choco on the left, divemaster David on the right. Choco has retired, but certainly is well-known for the years he piloted the Henry Morgan.
Coming into or leaving Oak Ridge, you can look down at the cay that holds the Reef House Resort and a number of houses. It's the island on the right half. You get there via boat through that small channel. Reef House has a taxi pick you up and drop you off from/to the airport. You cannot drive all the way there, though some have tried. (Hint: cay = island, and there are no bridges.)
One of the forms of entertainment at the Reef House is cornhole. Some of the people there are pretty good. Dominoes is also popular there - and in Roatan they play dominoes like the Russians play chess, or the Americans play basketball.
View looking east from side of resort. The 'pool' is on the right. Used to be a turtle recovery area.
Luna - the Reef House dog - will likely greet you.
