Scuba, skin dive and explore underwater CoCo View Resort.
Phil and Bill and their Sea Adventures Fun Trips are going diving in
CoCo View Resort this winter and invite you to join us on this exciting,
exclusive trip. Their personal awareness of divers needs, previous
experience in escorting large and small diving groups and personal knowledge
of CoCo View Resort will surely enhance the enjoyment level of all of those
participating. This departure is aimed at providing you with the maximum in
diving at the best possible price for double occupancy. Departures can be
made from many cities! YOUR CHOICE! You just need to let us know from where
you would like to depart!
CoCo View Resort is a full service dive resort. Scuba divers the world
over attest to the great diving, ambience, and professionalism at top
rated CoCo View Resort. Some of the best Bay Island dive sites are
literally "a snorkel away from the bar." The south shore barrier reef wall
and the wreck of the Prince Albert are just yards from your ocean front
room and are diveable without extra charges day and night. Two boat dives
daily plus optional "drop off" dives round up one of the most complete
dive programs to be found anywhere.
The Dedicated Dive Resort, Roatan, Honduras Bay Islands
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 amidships - 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.
(Per person double occupancy, airfare from Boise, Idaho - your cost may
be different. The above costs are based upon current special airfares
and international monetary exchange rates as of September 2000 and are
subject to change without notice.)

Children at CoCo View Children rates:10 or 11 years old in same room with parents - 50%
discount off non-diver rate. Children under 10 are not allowed. Children
12 yrs. and older are full price. Over the years, CoCo View has evolved
into a pretty much adult type resort. Many of our guests return year after
year and usually it's for the relaxation as well as the diving. Actually,
some of these folks place the relaxation above diving and they have come
to expect to do this in an adult atmosphere. Some people will even inquire
of our office before booking the first time about the presence of young
children. I'm explaining this because we want you to know we don't dislike
children but must put the best interests of our adult guests first.
Playa Miguel Beach Houses
The beach houses are privately owned and separately administered. Because
young children are not permitted at CoCo View, we must put forth some
guidelines for those staying at the Beach Houses. These are: Children may
come to the resort beach but must be under the supervision of an adult
with their party at all times. They may come into the club house for
short periods of time for a coke, etc. Again, they must be with an adult.
I'm sorry but they may not play in the club house or spend their spare
time there. Meals must be eaten at the beach house. The exception is that
they may eat in the Dining Room on arrival night and on the cay for the
barbecue on Thursday night. Also, children aged eight or nine may eat at
the resort but must sit at the same table as their parents. This is OK
with us as we feel children of this age are old enough not to be disruptive
to those around them. The other guidelines stand for eight and nine year
old children. If the adults in the party wish to dive and/or eat some of
their meals at the resort, a baby sitter can be arranged. Usually this is
only for the hours between 8:00 am to 4:00pm. Sitters must be requested in
advance, preferably before arrival. We hope you and your family have an
enjoyable vacation. Bill and Evelyn Evans*Handicap accessibility at CoCo View Resort*
CoCo View has ramps to get into all the buildings. The ramp to the
clubhouse is rather steep, and therefore requires probably assistance by
someone. One of the rooms (16) has a ramp with a double door entryway,
measuring 54" across. The door to the bathroom is only 26" wide. A chair
for the shower can be provided. Please let the resort know in advance that
a guest in a wheelchair is coming. It takes a couple of days to assemble
the ramps as they don't keep them up all the time. There is no ramp
assembly on Sundays since the maintenance guys are off.
*Diving with Nitrox*
Nitrox is available, as well as Nitrox Certifications. Tanks are $6.00 to
CoCo View guests per tank (NOT per day) or $100.00 per person for week
long unlimited use (shore diving included) . Nitrox tanks for non CoCo View
guests are $8.00 a tank, on a space available basis only. Guests must
bring their c-card. Nitrox tanks will not be released without a c-card.
Guests will pay for Nitrox at CoCo View and the charges will be added to
their bill. If you plan to use nitrox, let us know in advance.
