2010 seems to have brought new light to the Honduran tourism industry. Our little island is flourishing once again. The past 6 months have been tough economically on many businesses, but this week everyone has noticed many new faces in town and a surge of flights and a full daily ferry from the Mainland. The good times are back for our country. I, personally, am very proud that Honduras held strong to their democratic values and have weathered the political storm and world scrutiny over the past year. We are stronger and better than before! We've had an enjoyable week with new diving friends from Alaska, Wisconsin and Oregon. Many of our "neighbors" are also back on the island and have joined us for happy hours and dinners at our Dulce Vida restaurant. Underwater visibility has been excellent this week with many happy divers and a wide variety of underwater sightings. Our Alaskan couple was thrilled with the Octopus encounter during their night, shore dive . The whale sharks have been elusive thus far, perhaps they are waiting on YOU to get here. Attached are some photos from this week. All you snowbirds out there, we're holding a hammock for you. 85 and sunny today!
