Best Dive Resorts in Roatan
Are You a Scuba Diving Lover?
Try one of the several Dive Sites around Roatan, and you can’t go wrong.
Where most go wrong is in the selection of where they may choose to stay while on Roatan. There are many excellent dive resorts (see list below) on Roatan, and we believe Blue Island Divers is chief among them. Here are five good reasons to choose Blue Island Divers over our competition:
- Privacy: Those who’ve stayed with us know, our property is exceptionally private. And this is especially nice considering we’re located on Roatan’s western end.
- Calm Waters: The waters on our side of the island are most often calm. Our dive resort is located on Roatan’s leeward side, and the water is tempered and perfect for diving.
- Accommodations: Our newly built room is spectacular, and all our existing accommodations are as comfortable as it gets on Roatan. All our rooms enjoy A/C, private restrooms, and they are furnished with your comfort in mind.
- Lounge Area: The central part of our dive resort is filled with Hammocks for our guests to enjoy. This area perfect for a surface interval or for a lazy beachside experience.
- Access: Our dive resort is accessible from the main road and via our private dock. We mobilize our guests by land and sea-based on their interests and activity of choice.
As you know, Roatan is located in the Bay Islands around 30 miles north of Honduras, in the southwest corner of the Caribbean, with the second-largest coral reef in the entire world. The outstanding coral reefs attract divers from all over the world, and Roatan island has become one of the most recommended places for diving activities. As part of the second-largest barrier reef in the world, the island of Roatan, in particular, boasts vibrant coral, sponges as large as coolers, multi-colored tropical fish, manta rays, sea turtles, and from February through April whale sharks.
On Roatan, the coral reef is more diverse than the rainforest. Roatan is the perfect place for divers visiting Central America.
Scuba Experience
You will be able to explore narrow canyons, and abundant wildlife, black coral, and massive sea fans hide in the endless crevices at Mary’s Place, which is recognized as one of the favorite dive site areas in Roatan. If you are a shipwreck lover, El Aguila Wreck is perfect for you, it is a cargo ship that was sunk for divers to explore, and corals surround the huge ship, which is home to a wealth of beautiful and colorful marine life.
Getting your certifications here is a great idea, not only because it is cheap and easy but because of the great diversity of marine life that you will explore, having the second largest coral reef in the world. Blue Island Divers is both a PADI and an SSI dive center, so you’ll have the option to become certified with either organization. Think about it, not only will you get certified in one of the most beautiful places in the world, but you won’t even have to break the piggy bank!
