We are a dive shop that is PASSIONATE about scuba diving and passing the scuba 'bug' to others. Our goal is to develop divers that are mindful of the underwater environment while continuing to cultivate additional dive skills. Our dive shop is customer based in seeking to provide the most positive dive experience through training, as well as dive travel. FUN is at the center of our dive shop and may be easily seen in our amazing dive staff and the many positive customer reviews.

Got in 7 more dives and learned a whole lot about controlling my own equipment. LOYDA was wonderful. Andrew and I had a wonderful time. Everyone on the trip was kind and helpful. The food was delicious and the accommodations were comfortable. We really enjoyed the experience and hope to go on many more trips in the future.

Husband Bobby (diver) and I (non-diver) both thoroughly enjoyed our August 2024 Roatan vacation, hosted by David Guernsey @ Mayan Princess Beach Resort. On-site dive crew was terrific, prompt boat escort to interesting collection of dive sites a few X every day. David, Dive Master & all around nice person was an expert in troubleshooting equipment, too. His expertise in all things people & gear was gr8ly appreciated. I enjoyed my time at the beautiful resort (not affected on cruise port days) & rented a local's car to explore the island on my own (safe!)....tropical botanical forest tour, hiking, beach walks, snorkeling in Sandy Bay & even played some pickleball! 3rd time to Roatan in the last 30yrs, so we noticed tourism has definitely amped up w/ the cruiseships & mainstream travelers. Main roads are paved now, clean water available everywhere, most speak English, air-conditioning, back up generators during storms, modern pool, clean gorgeous sandy beach (not overrun w/ Sargassum like Belize) on West End Bay. Tourist accessibility, however, has taken a toll on the reefs. Like all beautiful places on this planet, I hope efforts to preserve & protect become precedent. We <3 ROA
