DIVING:
The best places for snorkeling and scuba diving in Guatemala are on the 
Caribbean coast and at Lake Atitlan. Though there is a dive shop in
Guatemala City it's probably best to take your own equipment.
There are also many package trips offered to Belize and the Bay Island of
Honduras. Check bulletin boards and travel agencies.

WINDSURFING:
Guatemala has three great windsurfing spots: Lake
Atitlán, Lake Izabal and
Rio Dulce. The best season is from October through May, with November and
December being the windiest months.
Lake Atitlán is the most popular and offers the fastest wind - about 15 knots
per hour, with increases up to 25 knots per hour in November and December.
Equipment can be easily rented right from the beach in Panajachel. Be sure
to only windsurf in the morning on Lake Atitlán, as the afternoon winds are
dangerous and unpredictable.
There are tour operators that are geared towards windsurfers and arrange
windsurfing package trips. Check with tour agencies or on the bulletin
boards in Antigua.
