Great experience - highly recommend! - Our resort (Grand Roatan) had offered a “try to scuba” class in their pool for free. This is hosted by West Bay Divers. We let our daughter (11 years old) try it out. Sean was the instructor and he was amazing! So patient, kind and easy going. He was very thorough and you can tell safety and comfort (of his students) are of utmost important. After the pool session, they offered additional diving for a fee. Which we chose to have our daughter do. She did a shore dive with Sean. They were out about 1 hr and dove to around 25-30 ft. My daughter absolutely loved it and has been asking daily “can I go diving again?”! Thanks to Sean and West Bay Divers for the this experience.

Open water course - Finished my open water course with Sean. He was awesome. They were very flexible with my schedule. I wish I could have stayed longer to get more dives in before I had to go home.

Just Amazing - I had the pleasure of completing my Open Water course with Wets by Divers in Roatán, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the very first moment, I felt completely at ease thanks to the dedication, patience, and leadership of our instructor, Karim Cassis. Over three days full of learning and incredible experiences, Karim made every dive not only safe but also fun. His teaching style is clear, professional, and always with a smile. It’s clear that Wets by Divers stands out for their excellent service and passion for diving, which gave me great confidence in the water. The quality of their instruction is unmatched, and they are, without a doubt, the best in Roatán. In fact, they are recommended as the trusted provider by Kimpton Grand Roatán, which made us feel even more secure in choosing them. I highly recommend Wets by Divers and Karim. If you're looking for an amazing diving experience in Roatán, don’t hesitate to contact them. I’m excited to continue diving with them in the future!

🌊 Unforgettable Dive Experience with an Amazing Team! 🐠🤿 - I just finished my Open Water Diver certification with West Bay Divers in Roatan, and it was incredible! Arturo, my instructor, was absolutely amazing—patient, knowledgeable, and so much fun to learn from. The whole team, including Julieta, Gabi, Mekela, Barney, and everyone else, made me feel so welcome and supported. The dive sites were stunning, and the whole experience was unforgettable. If you’re thinking about diving in Roatan, I can’t recommend West Bay Divers enough. Huge thanks to Arturo and the team for making it such an awesome adventure! 🐠🌊🤿

My first dive experience! - I was so nervous to learn to scuba but West Bay Divers, and especially Joel our instructor, helped me conquer this fear! We had such a wonderful time, Joel made me feel comfortable and confident under the water, and my whole family is now ready for more. We have already booked our trip back. I can't recommend this company and Joel our instructor highly enough.

Just book your dives with West Bay Divers! You will be so glad you did. - My husband and I came to Roatan for our Honeymoon and completed the open water dive course with West Bay Divers. We were so satisfied with our time there and have no plans to ever dive with anyone else in Roatan. The dive shop has such a warm, friendly atmosphere and we immediately felt welcomed there. Joel (our instructor) was absolutely fantastic, he loves diving and his excitement alone just made the experience so fun and enjoyable. We felt our classroom session was super beneficial and appreciated how thoroughly and carefully Joel taught each topic. He also spent as much time as needed to ensure our gear fit correctly and comfortably, trying different sizes and styles of masks and fins to make sure we had the best fit for our dives. If you want a shop that values safety and fun, this is your place. Joel had a great balance of making sure we felt confident and safe during each dive, teaching us techniques and checking in to make sure we were ok, but never hovered over us and gave us space to explore the underwater world and take in the amazing sea life. The dive boats and captains were equally as great and offered to help when getting in and out of the water. West Bay Divers was a 10/10 experience in every area possible. You will not regret diving with this fun crew!

I would repeat a hundred thousand times more - One of the best experiences I've ever had. The location is exceptional. There is no better place to dive than a reef full of life. The beaches are paradise. The dive center feels nice, tidy and caring. It gives a lot of confidence to be there. All the material was in perfect condition and they were careful to take care of it. The staff was wonderful, from my instructor Joel who was very attentive, friendly, rolled up and nice; to the captains of the boats and the rest of the team. I would definitely dive with them again when I returned to Roatan.
