Roatán is a diving and snorkeling paradise – virtually its entire coastline is fringed by an astonishingly diverse coral reef teeming with tropical fish. On land, exquisite white-sand beaches like West Bay, a mountainous interior of pine-forested hills and the remote wild east of the island (once a pirate hangout) beg to be explored.
Whether you are a seasoned diver or a beginner, this trip is for you! Our on island five- star dive center has all you need. Those seeking their PADI certification can easily achieve this while on island.
Don’t want to study while on vacation? No problem! Complete your e-learning prior to arriving on island so you can dive right into the fun stuff….literally.
This divers paradise offers a variety of dives for all levels including: wall dives, shipwrecks, shallow corals, macro marine life (seahorses are a must) and some giants of the ocean, like the incredible whale shark. It is very versatile for divers since the dive sites are just a few minutes from the coast and there are plenty to choose from.
