Advanced Open Water Course

We had an excellent experience diving with West Bay Divers. We took the Advanced Open Water course and also got Nitrox certified. Communication from the staff was quick and clear- we were able to do all the reading and testing online before we arrived in Roatan. Our instructor Joel exceeded our expectations. He explained the dive plan in detail in advance of each dive, what skills would be practiced, our route, what we might see along the way. He is great at finding cool fish and sea life and pointing it out so that everyone has a chance to see it. He is also very patient in explaining dive concepts and he made sure we understood the differences between air and Nitrox diving. Because we were the only two doing the course it was like having a private dive guide for three days. Diving with Joel was really a positive experience and I am so glad we had him as our instructor. We also got some great shots of our wreck dive from Juan Darhanpe the photographer, who did a great job of capturing us and the sea life we saw. From start to finish, our experience with West Bay Divers was exceptional and I would definitely dive with them again next time we are in Roatan.

Best dive company my family has worked with !! I did my advanced open water and Nitrox courses with Gaby and she was amazing ! The dive sites they took us to were beautiful and the staff made us feel like family. Also got the coolest experience swimming with a whale shark in between our dives on day 1. Would definitely dive with them again if we come back to Roatan ! (Also the banana bread was the best we’ve ever had)

On our trip to Roatàn, we did a total of 9 dives with West Bay Divers. Each one was great. The gear they provide, as well as the boats they use were in great condition; very well taken care of. We did our advance open water cert with Arturo. He was patient, knowledgeable and articulate. He clearly communicated what was needed, demonstrated the skills and made sure we were doing them correctly - both topside and underwater. Barney and Mary in the shop were responsive and provided all information needed quickly and without hassle. The other instructors around the shop (Sean, Gabby, and others) were all friendly and helpful and added to the atmosphere of fun. We had both Alex and Anthony as boat captains, each were stellar. Their driving skills were on point. Juan, the photographer also accompanied us on our wreck dive and snapped some awesome photos a highly recommend booking him to join a dive. Overall we saw some amazing fish, turtles, rays, and coral. On our night dive we also saw an octopus and bioluminescence. The reef is beautiful, the dive shop was great, and would absolutely recommend WB divers. We will be back.
