The Caribbean has been in the midst of some northerly winds for the last few days, so we're all waiting (im)patiently for some great weather so we can start running our special trips to the seamounts of Cayos Cochinos again!
The seamounts of Cayos Cochinos are a special two-tank trip that we will be running for the rest of the season. As the seamounts are located 18 miles off the point of Roatan, the trip is very weather dependent, but it's an awesome trip and an incredible experience. We do two dives out at the seamounts and go fishing during the surface interval, so there's a good chance for fresh sashimi between dives. This is the one trip where we don't stick to a strict time schedule, so if the fishing is good or a whaleshark pops up, we are there to enjoy it! The trip normally heads out around 8:15AM, and we are back some time between 2PM and 3PM.
The seamounts trip is $110 for a two-tank trip, including the first dive on Enriched Air Nitrox if you're certified for it. We take minimum three people, maximum six, but believe us, it's really easy to get that together. The seamounts can have strong currents, so you need to be an advanced diver for this trip. Check out UMI Productions' video for the seamounts of Cayos Cochinos, as well as their videos for the other dive sites we have to offer, and start planning your trip to Roatan!
