Would you like to try Scuba Diving? West End Divers offers Padi’s Discover Scuba Course, which allows you to experience Scuba Diving in just three hours.
All Scuba divers have to start somewhere and the Discover Scuba course is just the place. Without the expense of purchasing equipment or obligating yourself to any commitment, you can try an actual dive on the reef with a Padi Certified Scuba Instructor. Don’t miss the opportunity to dive Roatan’s incredible reef while you are here and see what all the fuss is about!
We go to the end of the dock right in front of the dive center and get in the warm tropical water at a depth we can stand in. This is it, your first time breathing underwater! Warning: it can be a life changing experience. Here your Instructor will go through some basic diving skills with you involving things like buoyancy, and getting that pesky water outta your mask (very easily done), and in just a short time you are ready for the real deal!
The highlight of the course is a 45 minute to one hour dive in the Marine Park on Roatan’s spectacular reef (it really is!) guided by your instructor. The gear is put on the boat, and we go out to moor over a white sand patch about 25 feet deep where you will make your descent, and do the dive over the top of the reef. This is pretty amazing stuff with the myriad varieties of fish, coral, sponges and always the
possibility of a turtle or two! The time may seem to go fast, but the tanks only hold so much air and eventually we surface get on the boat and back to shore.
