Activity: Work/School Country: Honduras City: Tegucigalpa TGU Airport 2004 |
Experience Repeatability |
This was one of the scariest landings ever. The airport is nestled in the mountains of central Honduras, and the runway is SHORT. So much that the pilot on landing felt he didn't have enough space and so we did a 'relift' right as we were about to land, followed immediately by a sharp bank to avoid the mountains. SCARY as hell. |

Activity: Diving Country: Honduras City: Roatán Temptation Reef September, 2001 |
Experience Repeatability |
Very pleasant wall dive, though initially it seemed the vis was going to be terrible (relatively). Sheer walls were spectacular. 4 notable sightings! a) 2 porcupinefish, b) large spotted eagle ray (very close, just below us at base of wall), c) large hawksbill turtle (sighted just after eagle ray sighting), d) whitish, wrinkly octopus hiding in a hole. Did a "technical" swimthrough. |

Activity: Diving Country: Honduras City: Roatán Spooky Channel September, 2001 |
Experience Repeatability |
Spooky indeed! Deep, dark, spooky. Boulder-strewn cavern-like canyon. Large overhangs. Coming out through swim-through into crystal-clear ocean water along impressive reef wall was phenomenal. Saw: large toad fish in deep recess at bottom of channel ~80', spooky lobsters, sharptail eel, "Flamingo Tongue" slug, moon jellyfish at safety stop. Vis was ~50' in channel, 90' outside |

Activity: Diving Country: Honduras City: Roatán Herbie's Fantasy September, 2001 |
Experience Repeatability |
Large plateau w/ average 40' depth. Lots of bommies (coral heads), wide expanses of sand, and mini-canyons. Reminded me of Los Tormentos in Cozumel, but more cluttered and vis not as good. Very nice dive though. Saw: eagle ray, flounder, turtle. |
