Actually, as a single diver, you are going to pay more in most cases.
That Roatan dive trip you are asking about - is it with CCV, AKR, or FI resort? If it is, then that price is probably pretty good depending where you are flying out from. Those resorts offer multiple dives each day and food. When you add up price per dive, plus meals, and airfare (which is high to most places in Caribbean these days) it works out to a pretty good deal.
As far as DIVE travel agencies:
Caradonna Dive Adventures - Dive Travel and Vacations
Bay Adventures :: Dive Adventures and Island Vacations :: 888.599.3483
Island Dreams Travel scuba diving vacations, cozumel scuba diving, dive travel, dive resorts, diving trips
Ultimate Dive Travel - Scuba Diving Tours - Scuba Dive Vacation
they all have basically the same packages as you will see as they deal directly with the resorts/dive ops and are all given the same deals.
we have used Caradonna and were very pleased with them. We have also used UltimateDiveTravel for a Palau trip and thought they were okay but not as helpful as Caradonna. I will use Caradonna again.
I understand your dilemna about saving costs and diving. One of the best ways to go is with your LDS trips as they can get you a roomie so you save money there plus have a built in dive buddy.
I think you should take a second look at that Roatan trip with your LDS. You will get alot of diving in and have a group of people to hang out with between dives.
