    • We offer a 5% discount if you pay by cash.

    • US dollars must be clean and without tears - most businesses on Roatan cannot accept ripped US bills.

    • Change is difficult to come by, so please make sure to bring smaller bills with you.

  • Donations to the Roatan Marine Park by credit card will have 15% tax and 3% processing fee added.

Cancellation Policy

  • Your deposit is refundable up to two weeks prior to your arrival. Deposit will not be refunded if you cancel less than 2 weeks prior to arrival.

  • Same day cancellations of a dive will be charged the full price of the dive.

  • Changes in pre-booked diving schedule must be made 24 hours prior to the dives and are dependent on availability.

PADI Courses Conditions

  • While we try to be flexible with course changes based on availability, we cannot guarantee a schedule change on arrival due to staff availability and boat space.

  • If a student does not show up for their scheduled course time, we cannot guarantee additional available days to compensate.

  • All PADI courses are performance based and dependent on satisfactorily completing performance requirements. If performance requirements are not met, course fees will not be refunded.

Shop Guidelines

  • We offer water, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and tea between dives. While we do not offer snacks between dives, we have many small shops and restaurants close by that you can purchase food from during your surface intervals.

  • We do not provide swimsuits or towels, so please make sure to bring your own.

  • We have lockers at the dive center for personal possessions. These lockers are unlocked but are monitored by security cameras.

  • Please avoid purchasing disposable plastics (bags and water bottles). Bringing a reusable water bottle and bag will help reduce waste on the island.

Nitrox Use

To ensure your safety while diving with Nitrox, we require that you have your own dive computer. If you do not have one, you may rent a computer from us for just $5 per dive. A dive computer is essential for tracking your personal No-Decompression Limit (NDL) and managing your dive profile effectively. 

Sunscreen

We are diving into the Mesoamerican Reef, the second-largest reef system in the world. To help protect its diverse and vibrant ecosystems, it’s important to choose the right sunscreen. Many popular sunscreens contain harmful chemicals that are known pollutants in various environments, such as rivers, beaches, and oceans, and can be detrimental to wildlife, including corals, fish, marine mammals, and sea turtles.

For the health of the reef, always opt for reef-safe (mineral) sunscreen.
