    Excellent dive operation, amazing staff from the boat captains to the owners, dive masters and instructors will all make you feel like family since the moment you step in the shop! All of them are very knowledgeable of the reef and the environment! They have very well equiped and fast boats and all the dive gear is in excellent condition. They will take you to amazing dive sites which are as close as a two minute boat ride or acomodate you with special trips that can take up to an hour to get there. All of them are worth it, you won't even know which site to choose as your favorite one!

    Best diving experience yet! I dove for 6 days with West Bay Divers and loved every minute. They have all new equipment, included in the price of the dives. The dive master and boat captain were incredible and friends by the end of the trip. My friend also got Open Water certified, and had a perfect experience. I also highly recommend the night dives! Can’t wait to go back!!!

    (Translated by Google) We were in Roatan in April 2018 with our diving group Galenos. On behalf of all of you, I want to congratulate you for the attention received and the constant concern for us to enjoy the dives. Always attentive to the last detail. Very beautiful coral walls with an abundant fauna. Visibility helped a lot (about 30 meters), accompanied by the sun every day of our stay. Thanks go to all the staff and especially Verónica Coates our dive master. We hope to see you soon !! (Original) Estuvimos en Roatan en el mes de abril de 2018 con nuestro grupo de buceo Galenos. En nombre de todos quiero felicitarlos por la atención recibida y la constante preocupación para que disfrutáramos de las inmersiones. Siempre atentos hasta el último detalle. Muy linda las paredes de coral con una fauna abundante. La visibilidad ayudó mucho ( unos 30 mts ), acompañados por el sol todos los días de nuestra estadía. El agradecimiento es hacia todo el staff y especialmente Verónica Coates nuestra dive master. Esperamos vernos pronto!!

    I did 4 dives with West Bay Divers & had such an amazing experience I decided to do my advanced open water certificate! It was an experience I will never forget! We were on a family trip & everyone had different experience levels. Our dive masters made sure everyone had a great time. West Bay Divers has top notch staff, equipment & boats. Special thanks to Joel, Ceci, Eva, Edwan, Angel & our boat captains who all helped make our experience amazing!

    Great experience. Mayghan was an awesome guide taking care of us and showing the local underwater sites. Gear was top notch

  • 5/5 Courtney C. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I had a GREAT time scuba diving. It was a perfect excursion for a cruise tourist because the pick you up / drop you off at the port. We ended up seeing gorgeous coral, reef fish, a moray eel, a sea turtle, an eagle ray, and more. Karim was an excellent guide and took some great photos for us on his GoPro.

    Best dive shop ever. Kareem and Gustavo made our time extremely memorable. Wonderful, professional, fun staff. Great boats, great dives, great gear, great everything. I will come back here as often as I can - Customer for life! Thank you !!!

    Cannot recommend this dive shop more. The area has amazing dive sites, but more than that the instructors are extremely professional and we were able to take our diving to the next level. We learned a lot, felt safe at all times all while having loads of fun and some of the best dives of our lives. Shout out to Karim who was our instructor for the advanced course and discovery scuba for our first timer friends, Ceci for her fish ID and guide skills, Jeso the boat capitan with great tunes and help getting all geared up, Angel and Eva from management who plan everything behind each dive trip and keep a tidy and professional shop. Weather can change quickly in the island but the staff is very knowledgeable and made sure we always had the best experience despite unplanned weather changes. The gear is great quality too and very well maintained. If you are in west bay for diving you can't go wrong with this shop!

  • 5/5 Jarett H. 1 year ago on Google
    First class dive shop in a beautiful location. I did my advanced open water course here and had a great experience with Joel as my instructor. He was knowledgeable, passionate about what we were doing, and equally fun to hang out above the water! Speaking to other divers that week, I learned that their experience with Ceci and Karim was awesome as well

  • 5/5 Victor T. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible dive experience with West Bay Divers! My dive master/instructor Eva made my first dive experience something I'll never forget. Captain Anthony, Barney, and dive master Cecelia made every dive a smooth, effortless adventure. Nothing but gratitude to the entire crew at West Bay Divers! Thank you for your patience, your expertise, and for making my diving experience something I'll cherish forever.

  • 5/5 Kelly F. 1 year ago on Google
    We were thoroughly impressed with West Bay Divers, especially Cecilia “CC” our guide who dove with a Santa hat! The whole team is professional, extremely accommodating, knowledgeable and FUN! We HIGHLY recommend them if you are in Roatan.

  • 5/5 Nathan T. 1 year ago on Google
    West Bay Divers took my wife and I on a great dive. The boats and equipment are very nice. We usually dive with our own equipment, but had to rent on this trip. Everything was in great shape!

  • 5/5 Travis P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing 5 dives with Eva as our guide, including a night dive which I highly recommend! Eva abs the entire team were so helpful, organized, professional, and importantly FUN! The rental equipment was perfect. Highly recommend

    We had a great week diving with West Bay divers. Joel was our guide and also instructor for our kids who both got their open water certification. He was patient and thorough and took us on some really fabulous dives. Juan took photos and they were fantastic! All the equipment was in great shape and west bay took care of everything for us! They even picked us up at the dock near our hotel every day!

    My friend and I took 5 fun dives — including a night dive — and couldn’t be more impressed with West Bay Divers. It’s in a great location in the heart of the West Bay. It had super high end Cressi dive equipment that fit great. The boat was super nice and fast, so we barely spent any time getting to dive sites. Joel was our amazing instructor — easily in the top 10% of all I’ve run into across 110 dives across 6 continents — and Wayne (manager) was super easy work with to plan our trip. Couldn’t recommend more.

  • 5/5 Shahn T. 3 months ago on Google New
    Awesome dive shop, super well-run and professional staff. Shout out to Peter who led my 6 fun dives, night dives, and refresher course. He was patient and knowledgable. Alex and Joel were so fun as well.

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent company to do our open-water certification! The staff were great and our instructor Meygan was excellent! Meygan was very knowledgeable and friendly and made the course a lot of fun. The dive sites were fantastic. Note that fun dives are not included in the course price even if done during the certification process, so ask about the costs before diving. Would definitely dive with this company again!

  • 5/5 George G. 6 months ago on Google
    We have done 20 dives with West Bay Divers and they are great. Joel and Karim were very patient with my noob diving family. The equipment is in great shape. Dive boat has plenty of room. We never more than 5 people in our dive group.

  • 5/5 Meggie T. 5 months ago on Google
    I loved diving with West Bay Divers. I did my Advanced and Nitrox with them. My two instructors were Mayghan for Nitrox and Bastiaan for Advanced. Both were great. However, I was somewhat nervous about doing my Advanced dives, but Bastiaan was so amazing that I actually felt comfortable and confident with him that I am now so grateful to have had him as my instructor. It's a great dive shop and after my amazing experience with them, I highly recommend them. A big hug to both Mayghan and Bastiaan

  • 5/5 Marylou L. 3 months ago on Google New
    I had an awesome experience at west bay divers, took me to great spots Small dive groups, maximum of 6 but we were never 6, very safe and experienced team and dive masters The boats are great as well They would show us a lot of cool little stuff underwater I highly recommend this dive shop Thanks guys for the great week :) !!!

  • 5/5 David M. 5 months ago on Google
    Me and my wife started our experience with West Bay Divers before heading to Roatan on vacation by booking our Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air Nitrox courses with them. We initially communicated with Wayne over email who was very responsive and helpful in setting up our PADI study materials, in class reviews, and our certification dives. Upon arriving at the shop our first course was with Mayghan for our Enriched Air Nitrox and she was absolutely lovely. She took the time to review everything with us and was wonderful. When moving on to our Advanced Open Water dives our instructor was Bastiaan who was nothing short of amazing. Our experience getting our Advanced with Bastiaan was fantastic and he definitely exceeded our expectations as he was patient, kind and always willing to go the extra mile. We didn't just get our Advanced, we actually further developed our skills and are now more confident divers because of his guidance. Bastiaan is an unbelievable person, dive master and instructor to dive with. Any dive shop who has Bastiaan or Mayghan have gained two assets. We highly recommend West Bay Divers, and if you're thinking of doing courses with them rest assured you are in great hands with Bastiaan and Mayghan. We had such a positive experience with all staff members that we continued to dive with the shop for the remainder of our trip.

    Excellent dive operation! We did 15 dives with Joel as our dive master and he definitely took care of us and our gear.

  • 5/5 Clint W. 7 years ago on Google
    Great dive shop- great people and equipment. We've done a couple of dives with them and have been very impressed. We'll continue to use them as our shop when we're in Roatan.

  • 5/5 Jessica H. 7 years ago on Google
    Love West Bay Divers! Just finished up a full week of diving there (our second visit) and they're still fantastic. I've completed both my Padi OW and AOW with them and the instructors are knowledgeable and really helpful.

  • 5/5 Asa S. 8 years ago on Google
    We just spent a week in West Bay Roatan. West Bay Divers did a phenomenal job of making sure we had the scuba and snorkeling gear we needed whenever we needed it. Fantastic staff, personal attention, unobtrusive eye on safety and the diving was fantastic. All the gear was in great shape, the boat was nice. If you like small groups, personalized service and great diving this is for you. Also one of the staff (Kieran) took nice photos of us diving and posted them for us to see.

  • 5/5 Matthew J. 5 years ago on Google
    Christie and company will take care of your every need. My gear was well cared for during my stay and the Divemasters made sure I experienced Roatan diving to the fullest.

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 4 years ago on Google
    If you're looking for a dive shop in West Bay, look no further. The staff at West Bay Divers are super knowledgeable and truly passionate about diving. The captains and instructors are second to none and their equipment and facilities are top of the line. Stop your searching now and get your dives with them booked!

  • 5/5 Anthony O. 4 years ago on Google
    For a long time I've been wanting to go scuba diving. I am most certainly beyond happy with my first experience. They were patient, courteous, understanding and just down right relaxed with the whole experience. If I could go scuba diving every day for a real decent living, hell if I loved on the island I'd try to dive with these guys everyday. Gentleman by the name of Jorge took me out to the water made sure everything went good and than when it was time for the real deal..well lets just say it a big difference between the beach and the open water but well worth every single dollar. When or if I return to the island the first thing I'm doing and going diving with these guys again.

  • 5/5 Vince S. 4 years ago on Google
    Exceptional dive shop. Zero nickel and dining ... when they say equipment is included, they mean it (I just brought a mask!). Very inexpensive (relatively speaking), they work to meet your needs and ability level, are not pushy at all, and are just super friendly and customer focused. Absolutely top notch!

  • 5/5 Coko R. 4 years ago on Google
    A top 5 stars diving shop! I've done my advanced padi certification and shark dive with Jaimee! It was a experience of life, good advices and reliable. I will go back and suggest to everyone.

  • 5/5 Callie M. 2 years ago on Google
    We were down there with a group of 6 total and the service and experience was beyond expectations. Great crew and great service. Very personable, and genuine crew! Thank you for the memories and we will definitely be back to see you! A sincere thank you!

  • 5/5 Kathleen R. 5 years ago on Google
    It just keep getting better! This is the 3rd season diving with West Bay Divers. As usual, safety is paramount and detailed dive briefings are enlightening. Even when we've had newer divers on board, the detailed briefings seem to keep any issues away, as everyone knows what to expect. Never more than 4-6 other divers in our group and maximum allowed bottom time once we proved ourselves to the newest team members. Both Conner (Coco) and Hannah were SUPER NICE (inside joke!) and very informed about the marine life, reef and its ecosystem. Boat captains Oscar and Edwin always helpful and always in the right place. The equipment is top-notch and its up to you to handle or set up your own gear, or take the vacation way and they will do it all! Kudos to Christie and every other member of the West Bay Divers Team. Y'all seriously rock. :) Cannot wait to come back!

  • 5/5 Ross O. 8 years ago on Google
    Talk to the owners and employees and within 30 seconds you'll realize how genuine, sweet, and knowledgeable they all are. They went out of their way to ensure I had an amazing experience and noticed they did the same for other customers. I was very impressed with the customer service and personal attention and would highly recommend them to anyone from new to experienced divers! Thank you West Bay Divers!

  • 5/5 Brien B. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an incredible two days diving with West Bay Divers! Everything was top notch, including the gear, the boat, our dive master Eva, and the logistics. We had four hour-long dives, followed by a mind-blowing night dive with unforgettable bioluminescence (string of pearls). Very highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Rusty R. 2 years ago on Google
    We used West Bay Divers to book our excursions around Roatan in December 2021. All the staff were friendly and professional especially Alexi who we worked with to book the trips. I will use them again when we are back on the island.

  • 5/5 Philip N. 2 years ago on Google
    We came with scuba group Submerged from Maryland - this was our first time in Roatan and diving with West Bay Divers .Our dive trips were fantastic with a level of service I had not experienced before - literally everything was taken care of for us by Barney, Megan, Ava , Edwin, Colby and Angel. We are coming again soon ! Love their new boat!

  • 5/5 Rick O. 7 years ago on Google
    Best dive shop I've ever worked with. Staff is fantastic. They turned my nervous open water wife into a confident advanced diver. Can't wait to get back.

  • 5/5 Marty F. 2 years ago on Google
    Cannot say enough about this outfit! My family has been diving Roatan for years and these guys are the best. The safety, the service, ability to find the marine life are outstanding! Comparable prices too. We’ll use these guys every year.
