Octopus Dive School

Had the most Incredible time diving with ODS on a Scuba Marmaids trip this past week! We completed eight dives, including an absolutely incredible night dive. The facilities were clean and homey, and the team treated all of our gear with care. The entire staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and made the experience unforgettable. This was my first time in Roatan and I will definitely be back. I cannot recommend them enough!

Best dive experience ever! I got scuba certified with Alejandro and it was incredible. He was patient and kind but also took the training very seriously. The shop is gorgeous and I would highly recommend!

Super friendly dive shop, where all the staff feel like they are a family and welcome you in immediately as part of their group. Everyone has a passion for diving and clearly love what they do. There is no stress about getting going, but everything is organized and dives happen on time. Our kids did the bubblers program and Andrea was an excellent guide - we felt very comfortable with him taking them down. They loved it too! Thanks again!!

I had an incredible experience getting my PADI Open Water certification with Alejandro! He was really thorough and informative which made the experience really enjoyable, and he also shared some awesome dive stories! Nuri and the rest of the Octopus Dive Shop team were fantastic as well. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to dive!

I love this school. I arrived with Open Water needing a refresher. The staff are all patient and helpful and professional. After my refresher, I did a couple of fun dives then decided to get my Advanced. They were able to squeeze me into their schedule. I had an amazing experience. Don’t let the location deter you from diving with Octopus. The owner is the most kind woman. Pablo and Ale are both incredible, thorough and patient instructors. I really appreciated the transparency of their website showing pricing without having to contact with back and forth messaging or phone calls.

I have recently- march '25- completed my 2 months DM internship at Octopus dive school, and it was a transformative experience, one of a lifetime;) I had first to do the Rescue Divers course, which it was intense ( its a difficult in itself to rescue a life), but thorowly an amazing experience! Ale, the instructor was patient with me, knowledgable and professional. Then I started my DM with Pablo, who I picked long time ago to be my instructor; my choice did not disappoint! We had intense, fun, victorious days, learning, failing, mastering skills, laughs and cheers and so on! Daily dives, learning new and exercising on skills i mastered already, with my instructors support, navigation, patience and guidance, gave me confidence, made me feel safe and well guided! Then i did 3 specialities with Nuria, the owner; Not only she had embrassed me as 'super Dina' from day one, she shared the same proffessional caracteristics as the other instructors and she really made me feel i belong!! I learned all around the shop and its administration and daily office activities also, Nuria showed me trust and lots of love;) Summary: Initially i visited Jan '24 as a customer, left as a friend. Then with the DM training Jan '25, i came as a friend and left as a family member!🙏❤️ I super highly recommend Octopus Dive School for any or all of your next steps in diving! Happy bubbles!🫧

Octopus Dive School is like a family of dive instructors, students and friends who love Roatan’s underwater life and work to keep the reefs healthy and thriving!! I just completed my Advanced Open Water Certification and I had the best experience! I feel so much more confident and can’t wait to come back to dive again with Octopus Dive School!

I had the best week diving with the Octopus team! I got my advanced certification while here and could not have chosen a better place to do it. Nuria is so amazing and kind and makes everyone feel like family. And their property with hammocks, their own dock and snack time between dives - I found myself hanging out there with everyone even after all my dives were over. It is a slice of paradise. Ryan was my instructor throughout my advanced course and he made every day diving so fun and engaging! I cannot recommend Octopus diving enough, I will be back soon!!
