From $459 per person, double occupancy for 2009

Day 1: US - Roatan
Upon arrival at Roatan, you'll be met and transferred to Anthony's Key Resort, where you'll enjoy a welcome cocktail and an orientation. After being assigned to your comfortable accommodations, you'll have the rest of the day at leisure to explore the area and prepare for the upcoming days of diving. Anthony's Key Resort is a full service dive resort. It also offers a first class snorkeling and dolphin discovery programs. The resort is located in Roatan, one of the Bay Islands located only 30 miles off the coast of Honduras, and sits on the world's second largest coral reef - home to over 65 species of stony corals with walls beginning in less than 40 feet of water. Hills covered with lush vegetation behind the resort provide a true tropical environment. Nestled in the middle of a hillside jungle, the resort offers guests panoramic views of fiery Caribbean sunsets and a chance to escape from the hectic pace of "civilization". The resort spreads from the lush tropical foliage on the hills down to a shimmering lagoon with two private palm covered islets, Anthony's Key and Bailey's Key. The key is accessible by taxi boat, approximately a minute boat ride away from the dock, where beach volleyball, water sports, and a small sandy area with lounge chairs create the perfect spot to unwind and relax. The other islet, Bailey's Key, has a nature trail where guests may observe small wildlife, and where dolphin programs are provided. The open restaurant on the hill not only provides guests with delicious meals, but breathtaking views as well, and above all, AKR's exceptional staff will make your stay unforgettable.
