Boutique Roatan
Scuba Diving
PADI 5-Star Dive Shop
Octopus Dive School has been operating on Roatan since 2005. We take pride in offering boutique, personalized service and diver safety is our top priority. Our team has decades of combined experience diving on Roatan’s reefs and we love to share our passion with you! Another bonus is that we are experts at having fun!
Small Group Service
We believe the best diving happens in smaller, more personalized groups. That’s why we maintain a maximum ratio of 4 students to 1 instructor for courses and 6 certified divers to 1 divemaster for fun dives.
Our boutique approach means your instructor knows your name, understands your goals, and can focus on helping you become a confident, skilled diver.
Unforgettable Roatan Fun Dives
Special Fun Dive Pricing for Octopus Alumni:
Once you’re part of the Octopus family, you’re always part of it. Whether you did your PADI course with us last season or years ago, you’ll always get the special 10 dive per tank rate whenever you return to Roatan. Just let us know you’re part of the Octopus crew, and we’ll make sure you get the alumni rate every time you dive with us—no minimum dives required.
Roatan, located in the Bay Islands of Honduras, is home to one of the healthiest and most vibrant coral reef ecosystems in the world. Over 95% of all Caribbean marine life species can be found in the warm, clear waters surrounding our island—from graceful sea turtles and spotted eagle rays to rare sargassum triggerfish and colorful reef fish.
Our prime location in West End on Roatan’s north shore gives us access to the island’s best dive sites. We’re centrally positioned along the protected leeward coastline, which means calm waters, excellent visibility, and short boat rides that maximize your underwater time. Even better?
Some of Roatan’s top-rated dive sites are literally right in front of our PADI 5-star dive center—including Gibson Bight, which sits at our doorstep.
