WARNING: US State Dept say not a good time for diving Honduras (and Roatan)
Due to the military coup on Sunday, June 28, 2009, the US State department issued the following warning. “The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the current unstable political and security situation in Honduras, and recommends that American citizens defer all non-essential travel to Honduras until further notice. This Travel Alert expires on July 29, 2009.”
They do also point out that while the resort and outlaying areas are calm, scuba divers traveling to Roatan Island typically enter and leave the country through the big city airports, leaving them susceptible to potential violence.
