SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS: Whether its or recovering from surgery, moving beyond injury or just simply time catching up...many of our divers need extra help..,or have special dietary requirements...or request special accommodations so they can better enjoy their trip. We stand ready to help but we need YOU to help us to help you. First you need to fill out our "Special Request" form after you sign up for a trip. Please be specific as you can. With so many special requests we may need to triage them or when not possible we go by the date that the 'Special Requests" form was submitted. While we offer many ways for you to contact us and we do our best to retrieve your feedback from multiples sources...we MUST ask that you use the form we have set up for this purpose due to so many requests and limit the requests via other channels so as to not confuse the matter. Secondly we ask that you understand that no matter how serious your limitations may be... we can not always guarantee that we can meet them 100% but using our form, and doing so early, and clearly outlining your needs allows us to work to meet your needs appropriately...something we often can not do at the last minute given the frequency that people make special requests of us. And finally, if you do fail to use our form and have to make the requests last minute we will do everything possible to help you but possibly after we've accommodated those who were kind enough to follow our process. If you have any questions on this or anything else...please email trips@singledivers.com and we can help you.
What if I need extra nights?
- We have a small number of rooms on hold. If you book via our block you will ensure the best possible price AND you will not have to change rooms.
- While we can not guarantee a roommate for the extra nights...if you book early and let us know you are arriving early...you will most likely be able to find a roommate!!

Accommodations:
CoCo View is one of Roatan’s best diving resorts and has steadily grown and improved since then. Over the past 30 plus years, we have continued to develop the tradition of laid-back comfort and excellent diving that our guests have come to expect. Modern upgrades to our guest amenities and diving services have made this resort the most returned to dive resort in the world, and we are always refining our diving operation to make sure it is the ultimate in diver comfort and enjoyment.
NOTE: We do not allow for specific bunks nor cabins to be reserved. You are free to request any thing you want via our reservation system but we can not guarantee any special requests can be accommodated other than those related to injuries, diets, etc. We allow roommates to determine who sleeps where. Our policy has always been to allow divers to work it out themselves and NOT assign or allow people to sign up for specific bunks. Please do not book this trip if you must have a specific cabin or rooming accommodations. If you are injured and wish to email us in advance to discuss please email trips@singledivers.com and we'll discuss if the trip is suited for your specific limitation. Thank you for your understanding.
OCEAN FRONT / OCEAN FACING / OVER THE WATER
Living on the Edge - The Water's Edge
You may be here for the diving or snorkeling, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be comfortable while you're dry!
Our 12 oceanfront rooms are located at the water's edge with spectacular views of blue, blue, and more blue. The shimmering water laps gently only a few feet from your door, an amazing sound to drift off to sleep to.
Conveniently central to both the Clubhouse and dock at our resort, all of the oceanfront rooms are situated in two buildings. Each room is traditionally decorated with Honduran colors and textiles and offers a spacious, private patio or deck where you can relax in a hammock as you enjoy the front-row view.

Travel & Transfer Details:
AIRPORT INFO
Getting to Roatan is very easy thanks to the Roatan international airport, named Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport that has regular scheduled service from Houston, Atlanta, Miami and New York. Primary routings are MIA to RTB on AA or DFW to RTB on AA or IAH to RTB on United Airlines
Please check online or with your travel agent for pricing and schedule information. After you make your reservation, please include your flight arrival/departure information in the booking template. Airport pickup and transfer service is arranged based on this. If you would like SingleDivers.com to research and/or book your airfare ticket for you, we will be happy to do so for a $30 research & booking fee.
VISA/PASSPORT INFORMATION
Please note that A U.S. passport valid for at least 6-months from the date of entry is required to enter Honduras. Though not required by law, some travelers have reported difficulty departing Honduras using a passport with less than three months of validity beyond the date of departure. A visa is not required, but tourists must provide evidence of return or onward travel. U.S. citizens are encouraged to carry a photocopy of their U.S. passports with them at all times, so that if questioned by local officials proof of identity and U.S. citizenship are readily available. For other global citizens, please review Honduras visa requirements posted on the Internet.
TRIP INSURANCE IS REQUIRED DUE TO HOLIDAY TRAVEL ISSUES AND THE ONGOING PANDEMIC
If you miss any Flights to (RTB) Roatan you MAY be able to catch a flight the next day but MANY run full ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF Yand ONLY ONCE A WEEK so you may have to wait several days if not a week to get to the island! While we can not force you to buy trip insurance, we are also not obligated in any way to help you if you opt to not buy it. So to be clear....if you choose to self-insure that is fine but you also choose to accept all losses accordingly as SD.com nor any vendors will be responsible for losses due to non-insurance.Our vendors are not responsible for what the airlines do and they know we require trip insurance so will not be able to help you if you have an issue.
PRO TIP: The insurance offered when you buy your airline ticket is actually FLIGHT INSURANCE and NOT TRIP INSURANCE. It will pay a small amount if you are delayed when traveling and will usually cover the cost of a hotel room if your trip is interrupted but it will NOT cover the cost of missing your trip. Please read the details carefully if you choose this policy to supplement your OTHER TRIP INSURANCE. DO NOT USE IT AS YOUR ONLY TRIP INSURANCE POLICY. Most will pay a max of $200 if you miss the trip entirely.
We recommend:
Dive Assure please reference SingleDivers.com via the drop down menu under GLOBAL PARTNERS. Click here for Dive Assure for either a 'one time' policy OR ! an annual policy that is either BOTH Dive & Trip Insurance providing PRIMARY COVERAGE with excellent rates and coverage OR JUST TRIP INSURANCE. They offer annual plans as well as one time policies. They are not the cheapest but they are the most hassle free when filing a claim.
Diving & Itinerary:
Our weekly itinerary will consist of 5 days of 2 tank boat dives PLUS up to 2 more drop off dives on the house reef giving you a max of 4 dives off the boat starting on Sunday and ending on Thursday. We will also schedule a FREE GUIDED shore night dive for those interested as well as other diving "must see's" such as the shark dive, other special diving islands etc. Stay tuned for more details!
Diving in Roatan offers something for all skill levels with 60-90 ft of vis, mild currents, walls and water temps in the low to mid 80's this time of year.

- Nitrox - includes book work, classroom instruction and sometimes the manual. Some classes include the use of a nitrox compatible computer and the gas itself. Some classes will give you a reduced rental rate for the computer and use of the gas if you take the class during the trip. Email TRIPS@SINGLEDIVERS.COM to request more information.
- Solo Certification - This cert will enable you to dive independently of a human dive buddy by training you to dive with a mechanical dive buddy aka a pony bottle or stage bottle. - Ask about the 'enhanced solo skills' where the instructor will challenge you with several additional skills that will complement your solo cert skills enabling you to be even MORE independent and self sufficient in the water. Email TRIPS@SINGLEDIVERS.COM to request more information.
PRICES: Prices for classes in Paradise are always more expensive than doing them at home. Sometimes SingleDivers.com has instructors on our trips who are happy to teach AND usually offer a member discount to anyone interested in taking a class. The more that take a class the more feasible a discount becomes.
Insurance, Documentation & T&C's:
Trip Insurance is STRONGLY SUGGESTED and/ IS REQUIRED on this trip due to being a major holiday, high season and still in an active pandemic! TRIP insurance is RELATIVELY inexpensive. Even if you have insurance that you think covers your tripit is CHEAP (approx $100-$200) to get a supplemental policy to ensure you are covered for your investment in your dive trip. If you opt to not get trip insurance you are responsible for all losses related to your trip including not going for any reason. If diving a LIVEABOARD please consider the liveaboard rider offer by DiveAssure.com.
PRO TIP: The two primary suppliers of dive insurance DiveAssure.com and DAN are inexpensive enough to carry both. This way you will have the best coverage internationally, the best coverage domestically, primary insurance, secondary insurance and if a claim is denied on one policy you can submit it on the other. No matter what happens...YOU ARE COVERED!!! ... PRICELESS!!!
We recommend:
Dive Assure: for either a 'one time' policy OR an annual policy for BOTH Dive & Trip Insurance providing PRIMARY COVERAGE with excellent rates and coverage! Please use THIS LINK and/or reference SingleDivers.com via the drop-down menu under GLOBAL PARTNERS. (If you can not find the drop down, do not reference anyone and email info@singledivers.com your policy info and we will do it for you via our Dive Assure company representative. OR SIMPLY USE THIS LINK AND YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TIED TO US. )
Alternatively you can also use....
Diver's Alert Network: Please use our reference number when ordering: ID1603080 (This only works if you are a new first time DAN member.)

- You have read the EXPERIENCE REQUIRED & TRAINING/WORKSHOPS information in the online trip details to ensure that you are able to safely and comfortably meet the requirements of the trip. Please contact to further discuss any questions you have about attending one of our trips. We often accept students who would not otherwise meet the stated trip requirements because they are taking a class that will then enable them to meet the trip specifications and they will be diving with an instructor or dive master during the dives.
- We require Dive Insurance for all dives and trips. Please see the online trip details under INSURANCE for more information.
- We NOW require Trip Insurance due to post covid travel instability. We now have you make an 'Insurance Declaration' during the booking process allowing you to tell us if you have insurance already that covers this trip, or you will buy insurance to cover this trip or you will 'self insure' accepting all risks including loss of all monies paid and you will hold Kamala Shadduck, and SingleDivers.com's associates, partners, suppliers, volunteers and/or employees harmless.
- In the event of cancellation, your trip insurance will be your first line of defense. Secondary remedies include some rights afforded to you based upon when you have to cancel your trip in writing. Please see THIS link for full additional trip cancellation details.
- Please read THIS link for our Guaranteed Double Occupancy Policy, Rooming Policies, Payment Terms, the "Ex" Rule etc
