The other options for diving on Roatan are the all inclusive places or the shops up in West Bay which are more expensive along with everything else up there.
Whomever you choose to dive with you will notice the following about diving in Roatan.
The water has good visibility, you will see some large groupers or Jew fish, will marvel at the beauty of the coral formations. You will drift dive along walls swim through channels and tunnels, and traverse a wreck or two. You will probably see some barracuda’s turtle’s possibly a few rays and you will pay less for all this and more than you would anywhere else in the world. You may be shown a variety of macro fishes and organisms that you never knew existed as when the above guys don’t show the dm’s can be guaranteed to find pistol shrimp arrow crabs and maybe a file fish.



What’s the downside, well you may be disappointed in the nightlife in Roatan especially if you like to dance to a good beat. And there does lack a variety of affordable activities for example to go fishing for a day is $250 ! And it’s difficult to organise. But if you’re passionate about diving then it could be worth a stop, and it’s a great place to do that course on the cheap. There are a few good restaurants around and a drive along the island has its rewards. I feel these negatives are in part due to the lack of tourism and that’s not altogether bad. Drink prices are not as cheap as they could be and you may pay equivalent to your local watering hole in the U.S. which is important for the backpacker crowd drinks being 1/3 cheaper in Utila for example.
