Nestled between mangroves, jungle flora, and our own private beach, you’ll be able to kick back and relax. Here, you can fall asleep to the serene sounds of waves and the birds, instead of West End club music and partiers.

Our Story

At Blue Island Divers, our objective is to share the magic of Roatan with you. We offer fun diving, scuba courses, stay and dive packages, snorkeling, kayak rental, and island-style dive resort lodgings. Built by divers, for divers, Blue Island Divers is here to create memorable diving experiences for you and your loved ones. Opened in 2014, Blue Island Divers is owned by a Texas-based family that was inspired by a magical dive trip to Roatan to start their own dive center here on the Island.

Our owners wanted to create a cozy and relaxed environment where guests feel right at home. Blue Island Divers Roatan is a lovely and intimate eco diving resort, on the beach in Sandy Bay, built with wood and recycled materials, for people that would prefer a relaxed and cozy atmosphere over a bustling all inclusive resort. Our maximum capacity is 15 overnight guests and 24 divers. We have multiple restaurants within walking distance, a beach bar on location, and every dive resort casita is all just steps from our private beach.

When it comes to your dives, we are all about service! Sit back and relax while our experienced dive professionals prepare your equipment for you and select the optimal dive site based on daily conditions and visibility. And after just a few minutes aboard one of our speedy dive boats, you will arrive at the beautiful Roatan reef to begin your scuba dive experience. Before you know it you’ll be saying hello to angelfish, eagle rays, moray eels, triggerfish, parrotfish, crabs, lobsters, octopus, and a huge array of macro life that your keen-eyed divemaster/instructor will point out to you personally. We keep our dive groups small, with 6 or fewer divers per guide, unlike many larger shops on the island, so you’ll never be crowded in. With our perfect location away from the hustle and bustle of West End, our dive sites are less-visited with healthier reef life, and we often have them all to ourselves.

We offer both PADI and SSI courses, taught by experienced instructors who put diver safety first, and strive to help every guest foster a lifelong love of diving. Whether you are new to diving or want to take your skills to the next level, we have what you need at Blue Island Divers. Here we help divers learn to perfect their buoyancy skills, dive in a variety of conditions, maintain sustainable reef practices to conserve our environment, or explore new specialized skills like underwater navigation, wrecks and night diving. We service our rental equipment often, and full scuba gear rental is included with all courses and fun dives.
