Roatan Beginner SCUBA Diving by Boat Excursion is available for cruise ship passengers arriving at Port of Roatan Coxen Hole and Mahogany Bay.
Your fun day starts right at the ship pier where the staff will pick you up and take you to the dive shop approximately 30 minutes ride. Your instructor will get you checked in and the adventure begins. The dive shop is a 5 star PADI rated site and a National Geographic ranked operator as well.
Your Discovery SCUBA Diving Excursion is also known as DSD, Beginners or Resort SCUBA - it gives you a feel of what diving is all about but does not involve hours of classroom or certification afterward. The first part of the day is a 30 minutes theories course where you will learn the basics of how to dive, the equipment involved and watch a video.
Then you will get in the shallow water with your instructor to practice the basic skills you will use for your real dive. Your instructor will be supervising you the entire day. You will accompany them on a short boat ride to a reef where your dive will take place.
You will enjoy about 60 minutes exploring the beautiful undersea world at a maximum depth of 40ft. After the dive, you are bound to be hooked! This dive may count toward future Open Water Diving certification.
After the dive, you will be taken back to the beach resort where you can enjoy the facilities at the Turquoise Bay Resort
including swimming pool, lounge chairs, fresh water shower, etc. You will have time to relax and are welcome to purchase food or beverages from the restaurant before you head back to the cruise terminal. If there is anyone in your group that would like to ride along to the beach, enjoy the resort facilities and wait for the divers to return, may purchase the add-on Beach Only - see the order form.
