Geavanceerde Open Water Cursus

My husband and 21 year old son just got their Advanced Open Water Diver Certification at West Bay Divers! Diving in Roatan is ideal because it is by far the calmest waters we have ever dove in! It is also filled with a ton of coral to hover over and swim though! Absolutely Beautiful Fish too! Mekela our dive instructor is the BEST…Friendly, Knowledgeable, and pointing out fish to see on every dive! The night dive was mind blowing with octopuses camouflaging, lobsters, and tiny shrimp peering out…etc. A Huge shout out to our photographer Juan Darhanpe…AWESOME, as well as our captains Anthony & Justin, and the Dive Master Takeshi! Thank You for a Phenomenal Dive Trip! We’ll be back!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Dive Experience! I recently completed my Advanced Open Water and Nitrox certification with West Bay Divers, and I can’t say enough good things—especially about my instructor Joel. He was professional, knowledgeable, patient, and just an all-around awesome guy to learn from. The entire staff is friendly, experienced, and genuinely fun to be around—they made every dive feel like an adventure with good friends rather than just a class. The highlight? Two unforgettable night dives that were truly out of this world—an experience I’ll never forget. Whether you’re brand new or looking to level up your certifications, I recommend West Bay Divers to anyone and everyone. You’ll walk away a better diver with memories that last a lifetime. —Deven O.

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.
