Great Operation! - Can’t say enough good things about this operation. Great people, up-to-date equipment, and well maintained modern boats. We were assigned Carlos as our Dive Master throughout our 6 days diving with West Bay Divers and consider ourselves super lucky. Carlos was excellent. He has such a calm and relaxed demeanor and helped our 14 YO daughter obtain her advanced open water certification. We also did a night dive and a shark dive and having Carlos with us was very reassuring. Having our own Dive Master for just the 3 and sometimes 2 of us has spoiled us forever. 😎

Best crew to dive with in Roatán - I came down to Roatán with no prior dive experience at all. In my time there I got my open water certification and my advanced open water certification with Takeshi!! He was an amazing instructor, helped me get through my anxiety and truly showed me the wonders of the locals reefs. The shop staff was similarly absolutely phenomenal helping me through everything I needed to get done before and during my trip. I also must mention the boat captions who were wonderful navigating the area! The equipment was is excellent conditon as well as the boats. All in all I cannot recommend this dive shop enough if youre going to Roatan!

Fantastic experience diving with West Bay Divers - My best friend and I got our AOW certification with WB Divers in November 2025 and it was an wonderful experience! We have taken many PADI classes and gone diving with many dive shops and this was by far the best experience. First, our instructor Joel was fantastic - he put safety first and made us feel very comfortable, and ALSO was a ton of fun to be with. And he was the clearest instructors I've ever had. Even though I have no interest in diving in Roatan again (too many other places to try) I would travel there, or wherever Joel is teaching, if I decided to get an additional certification. That's how good he is. The crew and staff and shop were also quite impressive - very well organized and very friendly and kind.

Advanced Open Water Roatan - The guides, the dive gear, the boats and the dive sites were amazing. The guides were incredibly insightful and passionate about the underwater world. The dive sites they took us to were incredible, and they took care to ensure they were fit for the course, but not at the cost of other divers on board. Special shout out to our guide, Sean. He had a way of making the course work fun and interesting. His knowledge of the sea life we saw was unbelievable and we loved his enthusiasm for diving.

Got Advanced Open Water Diver Certification Here! Best Dive Instructor! Hover Over & Swim Through Coral & Colorful Fish - 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!
