Some Stories from our recent Clients:

"We were excited to return to Roatan and Octopus Dive School after two and a half years. Nuria and the crew welcomed us with open arms. After a quick refresher, we got back in the water, and that's when we realized it had been a while since our last dive. Alejandro patiently helped us work through it and also guided us through the Advanced Open Water course. The buoyancy dive was incredible, teaching us so much and truly elevating our diving skills. We are so grateful to Nuria, Alejandro, and Lupe for their passion for marine life and their wealth of knowledge. I can't wait to return in the spring for more training, fun dives, and underwater meditation with Alejandro!"

"We just spent 4 amazing days with Nuria and her crew at Octopus Dive School. They had tremendous flexibility with us, and we opted to do a deep adventure dive and nitrox certification while there. Alejandro was an amazing instructor and really made sure we had a full understanding of the material. He also shared his favorite reef spots and marine life spotting and has an authentic passion for diving and marine ecosystem protection. Lupe was also an amazing guide. She buddied with my son and let him explore a bit but was constantly within arm's reach making his parents feel very assured. We’re already planning for a return trip hopefully in early 2025.!"

"If you’re looking for the best dive shop in Roatán, this is it! Octopus Dive School is an excellent, safe, full service operation. My husband completed his advanced course and we each dove 16 times in a week- incredible! Every staff member was kind, fun, and informative. Thank you Nuria, Lupe, Ale, Ryan, Pablo, Landito, and Caro!!!"

"Octopus Dive School is not just a school, it’s a community that loves to dive, and love sharing that passion even more. Everything about ODS has been built with love and this comes out in the full experience - from how they organize transport to the snacks you get given. The school itself is in a beautiful location with lots of space to relax and hang out. I did my open water certificate trained by Pablo and I couldn’t have had a better instructor. I was very anxious and scared of the ocean but he literally held my hand through the process, striking the perfect balance between pushing me out of my comfort zone but always making sure it felt safe and supported. Thank you to Nuria and the team for an unforgettable experience, I will definitely be back for more happy bubbles!"

"The best dive shop I’ve dived with! The instructors made me feel like I was part of the family immediately. They got a key lime pie for my dive buddy’s birthday, they organized rides for me to get back to my hostel, and they accommodated my schedule so I could make it to the ferry on time. I felt so safe and welcomed the entire time. All the instructors knew my name and were friendly and amazing to be around. I can’t recommend it enough and I would love to come back!"
