West End Divers

West End Divers runs scuba courses and boat dives from West End on the Honduran island of Roatán. Its PADI training range starts with introductory diving and Open Water certification, with further courses for qualified divers. Rescue Diver and Divemaster training sit alongside more specialised instruction, including underwater photography for those developing that interest.

For certified divers, the boat programme visits reef sites within the Roatán Marine Park rather than following a classroom course. The operator describes a choice of more than forty sites, so diving arrangements depend on the programme selected. Snorkelling is another option for visitors who want time in the water without taking a scuba qualification.

Accommodation packages combine diving with a place to stay, while separate excursion arrangements are aimed at cruise visitors. These are different ways to organise a visit, rather than interchangeable versions of the same dive course. Start with your existing qualification and the type of activity you want, then ask the shop about the relevant programme. Its fun-diving page lists $45 a dive, or $35 each for three or more, and says 15% Honduran sales tax is added, while its pricing page, carrying a 2024 price list, says prices include that tax. Ask for the final figure in writing before you book.
