I had such an amazing experience with Sun Divers Roatan and honestly cannot wait to go back! Everyone at the dive shop was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the dive sites. I originally signed up for 6 dives, but I was having so much fun that I ended up doing 12, and they were able to accommodate me without any issues. I also got a great package deal in August that included rental equipment, which made everything super easy. The location was perfect too, especially since it was right next to my hotel. The diving itself was incredible. We saw 6 eagle rays, turtles, a huge 6-foot nurse shark, a moray eel, and even an upside-down jellyfish, which definitely gave me a little "yikes!" moment. One of my favorite dives was Butcher's Bank, I think that was the name, where we went through channels and caves with some really tight spots. It was such a fun and memorable dive. I also made some great friends with the lionfish hunters, and now I’m seriously thinking about getting my lionfish hunting certification too! Overall, Sun Divers made my trip even more special. Great people, great diving, and an awesome atmosphere. I would absolutely dive with them again and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Roatan!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sun Divers! From start to finish, the entire experience was absolutely exceptional. The team was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly committed to providing a safe, high-quality diving experience. Everything was incredibly well organized, the equipment and operation were top-notch, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable and had an amazing time. Their attention to detail and level of professionalism really stood out, while still creating a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The diving itself was unforgettable, but what truly made the experience special was the quality of the Sun Divers team. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in what they do. If you're looking for a dive operation that combines safety, professionalism, quality, and an incredible experience, I highly recommend Sun Divers. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would absolutely dive with them again. Five stars all around! 🤿🌊🐠

Excellent place to book dives in Roatan! This dive shop is woman owned and is well run! To start off the communication was phenomenal from booking the dates and dives to at the shop with some last minute changes. Everyone who works there has a great attitude and seems to love their job. They also have dive packages that help save you some money as well. They take cash, bank transfers, and credit cards, but be warned the credit cards will cost more due to the taxes on the Island. They charge you at the end of your dives so no need to worry about transferring a bunch of money before your visit. I like that they have packages with the boutique hotel next door (called The Beach House) so you can be less than 2 minutes away and get a discount on that stay as well. I brought my mask, fins, snorkel, wetsuit, and some accessories like a dive light, small hook knife, SMB with reel, and my slate. I rented the BCD and Regulator and I dove Nitrox the whole time. I thought their prices were very reasonable and I had no issues with their rental equipment. They have their own analyzer and will calibrate it in front of you which I really like so I know that it's working properly. You do have to bring your own sunscreen. Every other place I have been has sunscreen provided on their boats, but the boats here are very small and there isn't much room for any extras. Make sure you have reef safe sunscreen with you, or you can buy some at the shop. They do provide defog on the boat. The boats are small so don't expect to bring all your gear in a big bag and stuff it under the benches, the team here will set everything up and take mostly everything apart. On your last dive of the day you will carry your weights back to the shop, but that isn't a problem. Everything else is concierge service. Of course they give you time to check your gear before heading to the dive sites and you can always ask for a final buddy check (BWRAF) before getting into the water with the guides. The guides go in last to make sure everyone is off the boat safely. The boats are back roll entry only and a ladder is put on the side for people to get back in at the end of the dive. I also did my Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty Course here with JB and that was so much fun. I learned a lot of techniques to help with buoyancy and I think it is so important for when I'm renting gear and it's always a bit different every time. JB is an excellent instructor and I hope to do another class with him in the future. I always book a private guide for my first dive somewhere new because I get an orientation to the dive sites, the shop, and the diving culture without having to worry about a group environment. My private guide was Selina and she was fantastic! She explained everything well about the boat and the briefing for the dive site was very clear. The dives were also amazing and we saw so much sea life immediately from southern stingrays to hawksbill turtles to small fish and crustaceans. The reefs looked very healthy at most of the sites we went to. I love that most of the dive sites are less than 10 minutes away from the shop so it's an easy ride and you're out diving in the beautiful reefs immediately. I did group dives the rest of the time I was there and my guides were Selina, Matty, JB, Ryan, Val, Alli, and Lori. All of those guides were excellent at taking care of everyone and pointing out cool things along the sites. I can't wait to come back. I really wanted to extend my trip and if I didn't have so many obligations back home I would have loved to stay another week. Check this place out and enjoy the dives!

I spent a week in Roatan’s West End, and five of those days were spent diving with Sun Divers. We chose Sun Divers based off high reviews for safety, as well as their creation of a community that protects its environment and gives back. We were not disappointed. All of our dives were supported by top tier dive guides (either instructors or DMs) and boat crew. You cannot control what you see in the ocean, but on multiple dives we saw turtles, rays, and seahorses. We also did a lionfish course and mermaiding in Half Moon Bay! I would highly recommend Sun Divers for dive courses or fun dives!

A tremendous dive shop with expert instructors that all know the reef. I have dove with them several times and they always make things fun and safe. Great for beginners or experienced divers. Their boats and boat captains are great too. They offer all of the certification training courses as well as fun discovery dives.

I had an outstanding experience with Sun Divers from start to finish. I initially stopped in to rent snorkel gear, but after speaking with the staff and learning more about their courses, I decided to enroll in the Open Water certification program that same day. The entire process was organized, straightforward, and well managed. My instructor, Nacho, was knowledgeable, patient, and professional throughout the three days of training. He took the time to ensure I was comfortable with every skill while making the experience both enjoyable and confidence building. I highly recommend Sun Divers to anyone considering the Open Water certification or looking for a professional and welcoming dive operation. I look forward to diving with them again in the future.

When we arrived we knew we were in great hands! Education for us consisted of 2-18 year olds, 1-14 year old, 1-55 year old (all 1st time divers) and 1-50 year old (2nd time)! Valerie and JB took us through every safety course and we were set!! 2 hours later we were on the boat with Captain O! I cried from the beauty we saw, the knowledge of our team and the life changing experience! Natalie and Shannon are the owners but they are more than that…they run a shop filled with love, safety, an amazing vibe and perfect hospitality! The entire crew knew your name, talked to you, showed you their love for conservation of the reef and admiration of all the beauty in West End!! I highly recommend this shop!! It is located in the middle of west end, a boutique hotel next door and an amazing bar with great food on the other side, Sundowners! Locals run, live and love their Island! You will never want to leave!!! I would dive with Valerie and JB over and over again! Our family loved this trip and for those who as master divers come to this shop!!! You will love it and love all the beautiful life under the water!

I did my open water and advanced open water with Sundivers. The best way I can describe them is a community of enthusiastic divers striving to create and safe, fun and environmentally responsible access to the beautiful reefs on the west end of roatan. Throughout my dives, my instructors excelled in providing thorough information, understanding and patience. If you are interested in learning to dive then Sundivers is the only choice!

Just about perfect! I first discovered Sun Divers several years ago on the recommendation of a friend. I have now dived with this group on 10 different occasions and my experience with them. Every time has been wonderful. Love the boats, love the captains, love the Dive Masters, love the instructors, and I absolutely love the ambience.

We got hooked! My son and I had planned two weeks in Roatan - one to take the Open Water certification and dive a few days, and the other for other visits. We ended up diving the full two weeks and take the Advanced course, nitrox certification, night diving, lionfish hunting license, on top of our Open Water certification! Of course, the diving is incredible in Roatan, but Sun Divers is a big part of the reason why we got hooked! The whole staff makes you feel like you’re part of the family on day one. Instructors, dive masters, boat captains, they are all very knowledgeable and fun. Security is never a concern. And coordination of the whole thing is always perfect! Thank you all at Sun Divers!

Unfair recommendation I’d love to give SunDivers a glowing review, but I fear my family must have been given special treatment, even though we’re just a bunch of average joes with no connections whatsoever. We contacted SunDivers about a month before our trip, and very quickly received a personalized welcome email with suggestions for our trip. Our two teenagers were getting their Open Water Diver certification through a referral program, and my wife and I were getting back underwater after a long hiatus raising those rug rats. Natalie and Lorianne maintained great communication throughout our pre-arrival planning. Morning day one, our kids were assigned JB as their instructor. When speaking with them after the dive, I realized we must have been given the shop’s best instructor — JB was kind and funny, but also serious and smart, a perfect combination for teaching diving. Clearly an unfair advantage for review purposes. That afternoon, my wife and I dove with what we immediately realized had to be the shop’s top DM, Matty. Matty imbued us with confidence and comfort, working with us to be sure we were still good underwater, and was an absolute wizard in spotting marine life and introducing us to the reef. But we see beyond the obviously intentional assignment just to get a good review. Our next DM was Lorianne, another obvious plant. Lorianne was charming and intelligent, and like JB, was able to show us many things we never would have spotted ourselves. Clearly another wizard under this shop’s roof. For our night dive we had Ryan leading us. Wow. Ryan was amazing in his pre-dive briefing. Underwater, he introduced us to two octopi (sorry man, I know), a huge rambling crab, and the dreamy strings of pearls. Ryan also managed to lead us one-by-one to the surface in the dark, avoiding jellyfish stings that were prevalent that night. Alex was another DM on the boat, providing great help and insight. But again, we saw through the ruse. Overall, we would highly recommend SunDivers. Natalie has attracted and trained a top-notch cadre of instructors, DMs and staff, and we can’t recommend them more. Thanks for a great experience!
