Diving / Diving Site(s)

The Diving

Roatán offers diving right on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the world’s second-largest reef system. The island is known for its fringing reef, where coral grows close to shore, usually only a quick five-minute boat ride away.

The best time to visit is from March to August, when the seas are calm, and visibility is often over 100 feet. Water temperatures stay between 79°F and 84°F all year. Most divers find that a 3mm shorty or just a rash guard is enough.

Dive Training

Turquoise Divers has become a PADI 5-Star Resort & Instructor Development Center and Roatan’s only National Geographic Award-winning dive center, providing high-quality services to divers from around the globe, who enjoy diving in small groups of no more than 8 divers per guide on our private dive sites.

  • Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) is a half-day experience designed for people who are not yet certified and want to try scuba diving.
  • The Open Water Diver course is a full certification program that usually takes three to four days to complete.
  • The Advanced Open Water course includes five adventure dives. Deep and Navigation dives are required, and popular local options also include Wreck and Drift dives..

Dive Sites

Must dive sites

  • Mary’s Place is probably the island’s most famous dive spot. Here, you can swim through a deep volcanic crevice lined with black coral and sea fans.
  • Hole in the Wall features a vertical chute that begins in shallow water and leads you out onto a huge wall at around 130 feet.
  • El Aguila and Odyssey are cargo ships that were intentionally sunk. They now offer hauntingly beautiful wrecks for penetration diving, covered in marine life.
  • Spooky Channel is an old riverbed that forms a wide, dark path through the reef. Light beams from above create a cathedral-like atmosphere.
  • Night Diving: One special part of night diving in Roatán is the “String of Pearls,” a bioluminescent show where tiny crustaceans create glowing patterns in the water. At night, you might also spot octopuses, lobsters, and squids that only come out after dark.

Dining / Restaurant(s)

Island dining with a hometown feel

At Udurau, we offer a wide variety of dishes every day. You can enjoy Latin American, Italian, and Caribbean meals, along with classic comfort foods made with a special touch.

A favorite Honduran breakfast, a made-to-order omelet, or fresh fruit and yogurt. Our breakfast à la carte menu is available every day and includes traditional, vegetarian, and gluten-free choices.

Have lunch with fresh fish, pork, chicken, island vegetables, or one of our daily specials while you look out at the sea from the palm trees. Our menu has something for everyone.

We serve fresh, local fish every day. Tuna, snapper, wahoo, mahí mahí, grouper, and king mackerel are caught each morning and offered as entrees for lunch or dinner.

From SASY to Divemaster with Kids Sea Camp

Kids Scuba, Family Scuba Diving Adventures, Kids Sea Camp, Margo Peyton

SASY — I was only six years old

For as long as I can remember, I have spent every summer traveling with Kids Sea Camp. I lived in Grand Cayman with my family for the first 10 years, when I started discovering the underwater world. My dad enrolled me in the Kids Sea Camp SASY program (surface-supplied air system) when I was six. I remember running around on the beach collecting giant hermit crabs for the crab races and spending the afternoons learning about marine life and the local Cayman blue iguanas through dot painting classes with Margo Peyton and Ron Rogest. They would have us all saying, “One dip per dot and no double dipping!”

My love for the ocean

Kids Sea Camp, Camp, Kids and diving, Margo Peyton

As I got older and became more involved and interested in diving with Kids Sea Camp, I fell more in love with exploring the underwater world through photography. Margo Peyton, owner of Kids Sea Camp, and my dad introduced me to diving and encouraged me to share my story. I loved taking photos and videos of many incredible adventures with my Sealife cameras. Becoming a PADI Jr. Open Water diver at ten on a Yap and Palau trip with my dad, Tom, and Margo Peyton. I don’t think I was as big as the tank I used back then. My open-water dive with Margo was with Manta Rays, sharks, and giant Napoleon Wrasses.

Tom and Margo often had to hold my hands in the big currents because I was so tiny. I thought that was so much fun then. I grew up diving in currents, so as a teenager, I had so much fun body surfing and playing in them as I continued diving and traveling around the world with Tom, Margo, and my family. (See more about us)

My KSC world

My mom, dad, and I have toured most of the KSC World, including the Galapagos, where I lost all fear of sharks and had so much fun playing with sea lions and seeing my first whale shark. Dad and I dove into the Cathedral under Darwin’s Arch and watched Bullsharks and hundreds of Hammerheads go by. In Fiji, I dove with my very first Tiger sharks and more bull and lemon sharks. My mom was not with us on that trip, but when she saw the photos I was posting on my FB, she suddenly realized they were mine, not Dad’s, and that he had me in the water with big sharks.

Experiencing all that Kids Sea Camp had to offer from such a young age inhibited my love for the ocean and diving and made me want to be more involved in this organization and the diving world. Not only has Kids Sea Camp allowed me to travel to excellent dive sites and experience such incredible things, but it has also allowed me to meet some amazing people.

My first Kids Sea Camp

I remember my first Kids Sea Camp: walking onto the pool deck in Grand Cayman and meeting another girl named Holly. We became best friends instantly and were inseparable throughout the whole two weeks. I longed for my Kids Sea Camp summers and for meeting up with Holly; we always wanted to make sure we were on all KSC trips together, and as we advanced in the diving world, our love for the ocean and our friendship grew. Holly became my dive buddy for nearly every dive I did over the years, thanks to Margo and Tom Peyton, who took us on trips. Many other kids did multiple internships with Kids Sea Camp.

As I became more involved with Kids Sea Camp, I learned a lot about SeaLife cameras from Margo and my dad. I hosted a few demonstrations, and Margo worked with me and directed me toward becoming a better underwater photographer. I have always wanted to be a part of the KSC dive team and help further its mission of teaching so many young people about the thrilling sport of scuba diving.

Becoming a PADI Pro

Margo and Tom offered me a chance to become a PADI DM Pro in 2022 at Buddy Dive Resort in Bonaire. They entirely sponsored my program; it was the best place for me to do my divemaster course. The Buddy Dive team was outstanding as they cheered on my attempt at lugging tanks up the dock, and the coral restoration projects there made my dives much more enjoyable.

What greatly added to my experience on every trip was, as always, my Kids Sea Camp instructors. I learned from them and was treated like family. They forever changed my scuba-diving experiences by creating moments I will cherish forever. Being able to not only grow my love of the underwater world and scuba diving but also build such strong bonds through it has been a fantastic experience. Without Kids Sea Camp, I would never have met or made all the incredible friends I still have today. Kids Sea Camp also made me want to keep expanding my diving knowledge and helped me gain a lot of confidence underwater. I hope to continue my adventure with Kids Sea Camp and become an instructor someday. Scuba diving has made me adventurous and courageous, and given me a global perspective.

By Sophie Purdon, I look forward to sharing all that I shared with the next generation.
