Completing accomodation arrangements was the toughest part of the trip; the entire island lost internet service Jan. through March. We took the ferry from La Ceiba, arriving without reservations but found out that there are many lodging sites. We chose a combination package with Cross Creek, staying in a duplex bungalow and taking our class work and dives through their school. This resort is mainly geared for lower budget travelers and those interested in obtaining certifications from open card to dive master. The instruction was very organized and thorough. This is not a good operator if you are expecting an extensive fish\coral ID tour with each dive; the instructors and instructor-trainees are too busy teaching skills to their students. Safety is a high priority and we couldn't complain about that. The variety and numbers of fish seen was less than in some other Caribbean sites, but the coral growth\variety is superb. Excellent site for inexpensive advanced training.
