“This was my second trip to Roatan and my first time diving with Roatan Divers. These guys are the best when it comes to professionalism and customer service. I booked RD for 12 fun dives during my stay. Every staff member was friendly, fun, extremely knowledgeable about the marine life and seemed to genuinely enthusiastic and happy to be diving.”

“Roatan Divers is full service! Once you arrive they handle everything. We brought our own gear which they took care of the whole week. Rental gear is included in the dive price if you want to pack light. Our divemasters were excellent, going slowly and pointing out cool things. Looking at you, Dani and Stephen! Overall, a first class dive shop!”

'“Excellent, five-star experience diving with Roatan Divers. It was my first open water dive, and I appreciated the encouragement and confidence from the team. The Gaby's were great at communication, and getting us dives even in rough weather (moving to the South Side of the island) and the divemasters were professional, clear, and took us to amazing places.”
Sarah Morford, 2025
“I have dived now with close to 10 dive shops in Central America, Europe, and the Middle East, and while others can be very good, Roatan Divers is by far the most professional and friendly dive shop that I have used. I have met now numerous repeat divers who have become part of the RD community. They have a unique ability to combine both a focus on safety and seriousness with an incredibly fun, friendly and open approach.”

“Awesome full service shop! We did 3 amazing dives, this is a full service shop, meaning they take care of absolutely everything! Their organization and planning are top notch, all their personnel are very friendly, knowledgeable and patient :) Their divemasters are the best guides we ever had! Our groups where very small so they felt like a private tour, which we loved.”
Jaime Burgado, 2025
“I recently completed my PADI Divemaster course with Roatan Divers, and it was one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. The program was well-structured yet flexible to my schedule, professional, and a lot of fun from beginning to end. Safety is of prime importance with the team, but they also know how to keep the vibe relaxed and positive. I always felt supported and encouraged, even during the toughest parts of the course.”
Matt Rogers, 2025

Any time is great!
October through March is rainy season, although the rain is generally restricted to nighttime, except for a few weeks in November and February.
December through March is the busiest time of year on the island, with the largest influx of long-term visitors and cruise ships guests.
April through June is hot and humid and just asking for you to get in the water! The island is much quieter during this time, so it’s a great time to visit.
July through August sees summer vacation come to an end, so the island picks up a little before slowly back down substantially in September, when the weather is hot and very still.
The water temperature varies by around 5 degrees throughout the year, with the coldest time dropping to around 78 degrees from December through February, and our hottest waters meeting us at 84 degrees in September.
