Eugene,
One of my good friends from college lives on Roatan. His name is Shawn Hyde. His family owns one of the largest shrimp boat fleets and processing facilities. Them and another friend's family are the wealthiest families on Roatan. The other friend's family owns Fantasy Island Resort.
I spent 10 days on Roatan right after college. We stayed in their guest houseboat in French Harbor and only had to pay for airfare and bar tabs. We were treated like kings by all of the locals once they knew we were personal guests of the Hydes. We made 3 dive a day and never had to pay for a single one!
If you have time, ask around and look up Shawn. Tell him you are a friend of mine. I bet he will take you to dinner and treat you like royalty. He is a great guy. he is running the family business now. One of his companies is Hyde Shipping. The shrimp company is Marisco Hybur and he also owns Hybur Supplies.
