Monique from Honduras has two passions: scuba diving and photography. She takes you with her into her underwater world where swimming with sharks, and weightless floating above the corals, makes you realize how important our oceans are! From childhood on I have always loved swimming. I used to live near or at the water, and until this day, the beautiful bay in Roatan is my backyard. Being in the water feels liberating, underwater, above water, floating in the water, it doesn’t matter, it relaxes me. What is that feeling I have over and over again with water…?

This is the story of Monique Tarée, originally from Amsterdam, Netherlands, who fell in love with this beautiful island, in the Islas de la Bahia, on the Honduran Atlantic coast at first sight. How is it possible for a woman from a first world country to abandon the comforts of home and live the rest of her life in Roatan? Honduras is said to have magnetism to those who visit it. At the same time thousands of Hondurans emigrate to seek other opportunities abroad.
