Summary: My wife experienced diving for the first time in Roatan. We researched all the local dive shops available in West Bay and they all have great reviews. We decided on West Bay Divers and made the best choice possible. Our instructor Takeshi, was friendly, reassuring, patient, and an absolute joy to be around. He is one of those guys who you could immediately become friends with. Our first dive with him was so enjoyable we immediately booked a second dive. In addition to Takeshi the rest of the staff (Boat Captains, Other Instructors, etc..) everyone was personable, friendly, and all around amazing people who made you feel welcome and like you were part of their secret dive club. I could not possibly give this place a higher recommendation. 100/10 rating, if you want amazing people around you for an amazing experience then please see the amazing team at West Bay Divers!!!
