Roatan Month 14 Roundup

October 12, 2013 by Rika 8 Comments

Well that snuck up on me quick… didn’t I just write my month 13 roundup??


Here we are at 14 months! Flying by as usual. I haven’t been around much because I’m enjoying a 2-week visit from my very first visitor!! I’ve already certified him as an open water diver and he’s doing the advanced course this week. Another diving convert! We’re having a blast, much of it assisted by Ronrico and the weather has been perfect. It’s a lot of fun finally showing someone where I live and what I do!


Speaking of what I do, the other news around here is I just achieved my PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer rating … movin on up! PADI even tweeted me about it 🙂





I’ve also been asked by PADI to do an interview for their blog about being a scuba professional for a living… wow! Really cool to be approached by such a big organization. So look for that coming down the line soon!


You know the drill by now:


1. Gratuitous diving photo

dive site: one minute west
credit: ?? i forget. sarah, did you take this?





2. Posts from the last month

  • a surprisingly popular post on what I eat in Honduras … watch for round 2 on this one coming soon – an islander saw my post and decided to cook for me for a week to show what ‘real’ island food is. YUM!
  • my treatise on why and how lionfish are ruining Caribbean reefs, and a delicious recipe. Cause if you can’t beat ’em, eat ’em!
  • a monster post about eating my way through Vancouver 
  • to end the food trilogy, my last post was about my super exciting first whale shark sighting! And there’s even a video of it to boot.



3. The coolest thing I’ve found on the internet this month



Calming Manatee is the best/cutest website I’ve seen in ages. Photos of manatees with captions like “It’s okay. We still like you.” Whoever made this needs a high five. I’m not even ashamed to say I actually used this a few times this week when I got a little stressed. It works!






Remember you can see all my monthly roundup posts by clicking on the “roundup” tag below!

      Wow, it doesn't seem like so much to me but then I got your comment and I read back over it and damn…it is a lot! Haha! I have no idea where the energy comes from. Just a passion for what I'm doing I guess 🙂

      Thanks Alex!! I love those manatees too.. on the site you can just keep clicking "summon another manatee" at the bottom and they keep coming up with different ones. Too cute!
