I
loved
my
entire
experience
with
Roatan
Divers.
I
booked
my
Emergency
First
Responder
and
Rescue
Diving
certifications
before
coming
to
the
island,
and
email
communication
with
the
shop
was
easy,
quick
and
clear.
When
I
got
to
the
shop
the
first
day,
everyone
already
knew
my
name.
It
was
nice
to
feel
welcome
and
included,
especially
as
a
solo
traveler.
My
courses
were fantastic.
With
a
less
skilled
teacher,
the
role
playing
portions
could've
been
awkward
or
campy,
and
the
material
could've
been
dry,
but
Martín
and
Gigi
were
so
knowledgeable
and
engaging,
I
learned
a
lot,
and
enjoyed every
class.
I
got
such
great
hands-on
attention. Not
only
did
I
have
two
instructors,
but
Molly,
who
had
just
finished
her
divemaster,
was
also
helping
out.
She
often
played
the victim
in
our scenarios,
and
was
cheerful
and
upbeat,
even
when
pretending
to
be
unresponsive
so
I
could
drag
or
tow
her.
The
rescue
course
is
physically
demanding,
but
the
shop
suggested
doing
some
fun
diving
to
break
it
up,
which
was
also
great.
We
dove
a
ship,
The
Aguila,
and
I
ended
up
adding
on
my
Nitrox
certification
at Martín's
suggestion,
so
I
could
have
more
bottom
time,
exploring
the
wreck.
The
fun
dives
were
just
that,
fun,
and
I
saw
all
sorts
of
things
-
a
turtle,
a
spotted
eagle
ray,
lionfish,
flamingo
tongues,
and
the
largest
crab
I've
ever
seen!
Having
three
dives
a
day
makes
it
easy
to
schedule
too.
I
haven't
done
a ton
of
diving,
but
I've
dived
with
a
number
of
shops
around
the
world
and
RD
compared
favorably
against
all
of
them.
The
boats and
equipment
were
new
and/or
well
maintained.
Plus
they
labeled the
gear
with
my
name,
carried
it
to
and
from
the
boats,
and
cleaned
it
afterwards.
All
the
work
was
done;
I
just
got
to dive.
They
also
recommended
Ginger's,
the
restaurant
next
door,
which
was
the
perfect
setting
for
a
post-dive
beer,
with
great
food.
I'd
definitely
recommend
Roatan
Divers,
and
especially
their
PADI
rescue
course,
it
was
the
best
dive
course
I've
taken.
Looking
forward
to
coming
back
and
diving
with
RD
again
as
soon
as
possible!
