5 Important Packing Tips for Roatan

I had to learn very quickly how to streamline my packing once I started traveling around the world as a roving scuba diving instructor. Since I had to be the one throwing my bags on and off buses and ferries and dealing with airline weight restrictions (which can be difficult to manage once you take into account how heavy scuba equipment is), I became much better at packing well. Quality, not quantity!

We are loving the new options for guests to choose from when they donate to the Marine Park! In case you haven't noticed, the #roatanmarinepark is a very important part of scuba diving and of life on #Roatan. Every year, the Roatan Marine Park sells a different color bracelet as their yearly bracelets. While it's not mandatory to buy the bracelets to enter the park, it's the responsible thing to do, because it's through their work that our reefs here are so beautiful. Make sure that every time you visit, you get another bracelet to support the park. They have recently switched to all eco friendly products including wooden tokens, fabric bracelets with bamboo clasps and amazing seahorse bottle opener Keychains made from recycled metals! The Roatan Marine Park is a community based, non-profit organization that started protecting Roatan's reefs and other ecosystems since 2005. We are proud supporters of the RMP and the wonderful work they do! #roatandivers #roatandiverssandybay #therdway #roatan #honduras #caribbean #bayislands #roatanmarinepark #conservationefforts #ecoambassadors #protectourreefs #projectaware
We love Divers! Especially Sand Divers! Interesting Sand diver Facts: Sand diver's can reach 16 inches in length and 2.2 pounds of weight. The intensity of the coloration of the body depends on the environment. Sand divers can become darker or paler colored to blend with their surroundings. Thanks to these features, sand divers are also known as "lizard fish". The eyes of a sand diver have iridescent layers which prevents damage of ocular structures after exposure to the bright light. They have wide mouths filled with numerous, needle-like teeth arranged in several rows in the upper and lower jaw. Their diet is based on various species of fish and invertebrates. They are ambush predators (hunt their prey using the element of surprise). They spend their life on the ocean floor (bottom dwellers). The name "sand diver" refers to the fact that it usually lays buried in the sand with only head exposed. Sand divers occasionally rests on top of the sandy or reef structure. Little is known about reproduction of sand divers. Mating season usually takes place during the summer and fall. Males and females release their reproductive cells directly into the water. Sand divers do not show parental care. Eggs are left on their own until they hatch.The lifespan of a sand diver is unknown. #fishfacttuesday #roatandivers #roatandiverssandybay #therdway #unleashyourpotential #diveroatan #beautifulhonduras #sanddiver
