Short, damp, ungrooved runway, with downhill slope, tailwind, non-precision approach (after already going around), low experience F/O, high landing weight.........

The crew contacted dispatch asking whether they should divert to San Pedro Sula in case of another go around.
I don't understand this concept of asking if they should divert; the PIC should be telling dispatch that they are diverting. Whilst unfamiliar with the airport and the airline, I'd suggest that there might have been a few problems with the organisational culture.
