Restrictions Divers must be a minimum of 10 years old. Any divers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. You will be required to complete a heath questionnaire prior to your dive. Participants with heart conditions, a current cold or sinus congestion, epilepsy, asthma, diabetes, a severe medical problem, who are or may be pregnant or who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs are not permitted to dive. If taking medication consult your doctor before participating in this program. Anyone who appears to be under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any other chemical which is deemed by the instructor to affect their ability to dive, will not be permitted to dive. Health restrictions apply and a waiver and medical statement is required to be filled out by all participants. Please view and print the form. Please read the form carefully. If you cannot pass the questionnaire, or do not have the required physician's statement, you will not be permitted to dive. Guests not able to dive will not be entitled to a refund so please look at the questionnaire BEFORE booking this tour.

Never been scuba diving? Now is the perfect time and Roatan is the perfect place to fix that.

You will be picked up at the pier and transferred to the dive shop on the east end of Roatan. The drive is approximately 25 minutes for this Roatan excursion. Upon arrival, you will meet with your instructor and begin your class.

Your resort course will begin with a short video and approximately 30 minutes of classroom instruction. This will be followed by an in-water practice with your instructor, where you will cover a few basic skills necessary to dive safely.

You will then be taken on a controlled, shallow dive on Roatan's spectacular reef, under the close supervision of your instructor. Just a short boat ride from shore, an amazing world awaits you under the sea. Depending on your rate of breathing, the dive should last approximately 30 minutes. Although one dive does not make you an expert or certified diver, it will count as your first dive towards a scuba diver or open water diver certification. And what an incredible school room!

You will then have some free time to ask questions, enjoy the beach or pool area, or purchase lunch at the nearby restaurant.

Please Note: A Roatan Marine Park fee of $5 US (additional cost) per person will be collected upon arrival. You will be required to complete a health questionnaire prior to your dive. Please CLICK HERE to view and print the form.
