Beyond a Dive Trip

Some adventures are about the reef. Others are about the people. The most
unforgettable ones? They’re about both.

That’s what makes this upcoming journey to Roatán with First Coast Divers, led by
Dan, so special. From December 12–19, 2026, our dive community will head to one of
the Caribbean’s most beloved destinations—the beautiful Mayan Princess Beach &
Dive Resort in Honduras—our home away from home for the fourth time.

Why do we keep going back? Because it’s more than a gorgeous resort on a world-
class reef. It’s one of the best all-inclusive dive experiences anywhere: a full week of
diving, meals, drinks, airfare, and more—all handled for you.

Whether you’re an experienced diver or just starting out, this trip isn’t only about
exploring new reefs—it’s about reconnecting with nature, yourself, and each other. With
Dan’s guidance and the camaraderie of the First Coast Divers crew, we’ll share a
week of diving, relaxing, learning, and laughing—together.

All-Inclusive Ease

Dive travel can be complicated—flights, gear, transfers, food—but not this time.
Everything’s covered: airfare, accommodations, meals, drinks, airport transfers,
and diving.

At the Mayan Princess Beach & Dive Resort, you can go from dive to poolside in
minutes. No juggling plans or searching for dinner—just pure ease. With Dan and Suzy
leading the way, you’ll feel supported and at home from start to finish.

Why Roatán?

Roatán rests on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef in the
world—a living underwater paradise filled with colorful coral, turtles, eagle rays, and
endless reef fish. Expect warm waters in the low 80s°F, clear visibility up to 100 feet, and dive sites for every level—from shallow coral gardens to dramatic walls and wrecks, most just

minutes away. Thanks to the island’s Marine Park, the reefs remain healthy and thriving
for generations of divers to come.

Our Home Base: The Mayan Princess

Set along West Bay Beach, the Mayan Princess is a full-service dive retreat where
everything you need is right on site.

PADI 5-Star Dive Center just steps from your room
Safe, comfortable boats and small dive groups
Spacious suites, tropical gardens, and two freshwater pools
Multiple restaurants and bars included in your stay
A spa, nightly entertainment, and easy access to excursions

When we’re not diving, we’ll be lounging under the palms, catching sunsets, and
sharing stories with friends old and new.

Dan & Suzy: Leadership with Heart

If you’ve ever traveled with Dan & Suzy, you already know—it’s more than great
planning. It’s heart. Their love for diving, teaching, and connecting with people makes
every trip feel like family. Whether it’s your first dive trip or your fiftieth, you’ll feel
encouraged, supported, and part of something special.

Why December?

December is the perfect time to escape winter and soak in the warmth of the islands. It’s
the tail end of the rainy season, so everything is lush and green, and the island feels
peaceful and refreshed.

It’s also a perfect pre-holiday reset—a chance to unwind before the year’s final rush.

Traveling solo? No problem. We’ve reserved shared two-bedroom suites for single
travelers, each with your own room and a ready-made dive buddy from our First Coast
family.

Community, Connection & Lasting Memories

This trip isn’t just about Roatán—or even the diving, as incredible as it is. It’s about
community. It’s about sharing reef discoveries, surface intervals, and laughter with
people who love the ocean as much as you do. With Dan & Suzy leading the way and the warmth of the First Coast Divers family around you, this journey will be more than another stamp in your logbook. It’ll be one of those experiences you carry with you for years—reminding you why you fell in love with diving in the first place.

Final Thoughts: Come Dive With Us

There are few places as vibrant as Roatán, and few groups as welcoming as First
Coast Divers.

Join us for an unforgettable week of reefs, sunshine, and connection. Every previous
trip has sold out—so if you’re thinking about joining, now’s the time.

Roatán awaits. See you on the boat!

— With warm fins and open hearts,
Dan & Suzy Mechelke & the First Coast Divers Crew

Important Note About Airfare

As of now, we do not have finalized airfare pricing for this December 2026 trip. Airlines typically release flight schedules and fares no more than 11 months in advance. Based on trends over the past four years, round-trip airfare to and from Roatán has generally ranged between $750 and $850. For planning purposes, the rates listed above are based on an estimated airfare of $800 per person.

Once we secure the group airfare with American Airlines, the final trip cost may vary slightly—either higher or lower—depending on the actual fare at the time of booking.

If you prefer to book your own airfare (for example, if you plan to use flight credits or reward points), you're absolutely welcome to do so. In that case, simply deduct $800 per person from the listed trip price.

Please note: Reservations made fewer than 100 days before departure will not include group airfare. This is due to airline requirements for passenger counts well in advance. If you book after this deadline, you'll need to arrange your own flights, and you can again subtract $800 per person from the package price.

Terms:

$850 Non-Refundable/ Per Person Deposit at booking
$850 Payment due by June 1, 2026
Balance due by Sept 1, 2026
