Scuba Diving Lessons

 

 

We teach all PADI scuba diving lessons from Beginner to Dive Instructor and a variety of Specialty diver courses using the PADI system of diver education and their latest training materials.

You or your group gets your personal PADI dive instructor. He/she will take as much time as necessary to insure that everybody gets the best training possible. We want people to have a fun class and a good time rather than pushing them through. All our scuba dive instructors have several years of teaching experience and speak several languages.

 

Discover Scuba

Ask about a free discover Scuba experience in the hotel pool.

You will take your first breath underwater under the supervision of an experienced SCUBA dive Instructor.

Even children as young as 8 years can try scuba diving in the pool.

 

Discover Scuba Diving $ 95 (incl. Equipment)

If you have never been scuba diving before, now is the time to do an introductory dive on the splendid reef of Roatan.

 

This program allows those who have never tried it to safely experience the thrill of scuba diving. You will watch a short video and after a brief orientation from the Instructor practice a few basic skills to dive safely before you go on an actual dive under the close supervision of an instructor.

This experience may change your lifestyle forever.

If you want to become certified after your discover dive, that’s no problem. The discover dive counts as the first dive for your Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certification.
