Nuria and her staff were amazing! We were with a group of 12 and had a wide variety of new divers and Nuria took care of all our needs. All their dive instructors were very patient and considerate of our needs and worked with everyone's levels of comfort. Great dive spots right off from the dive shop, and it couldn't... More

If you are new to diving or plan on getting PADI certified, Octopus Dive School was the perfect setting to learn and explore the beautiful world beneath the waters of Roatan. The boat was never full and I we received personalized instruction in my certification process. My dive instructor, Mauricio Iragorri was very patient with me and my 14 year... More

My husband and I took the open water diver course with another couple. Matt and Eva not only showed us the skills but were also personally excited about showing us dive sites. I was fearful of diving at first, but Matt put me at ease enough to do something I never dreamed I would. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable, and interested... More

We went to Roatan because we'd heard about the laid back atmosphere and the fantastic snorkeling and diving. We weren't disappointed. We stayed at the Blue Bahia Resort, which quickly became our home away from home, largely because of our experience with Nuria, Matt and Antonio from the Octopus Dive Centre. They were so kind and helpful. My husband and... More

The staff of Octopus Dive School were wonderful and made our open water certification a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Nuria, the owner, and Matt, our instructor, were welcoming, accommodating, and friendly. Because the dive center is not in the busy sections of the island (west end/west bay) we received individual attention throughout the three day open water certification course. Coming... More

Our family of 4 stayed at the Blue Bahia for 9 days and had the best time with everyone from Octopus. My son and I got our Open Water Certification and dived 6 times and my daughter and wife did the Discover Scuba and dived 4 times. Over four days, our instructor Eva was phenomenal! She was an excellent teacher... More

I somehow managed to convince my wife that we should learn to scuba dive on on vacation. We spent two weeks in Sandy Bay with our three children and received our open water certifications through Octopus Dive Center. I cannot thank Nuria and Eva enough for the wonderful experience. My wife and children had such a great time learning to... More

Like a favorite bistro off a tucked away side street in Paris, the Octopus Dive Center is the kind of small-scale operation that you happen upon by chance and fall in love with immediately. I'm torn between keeping this gem of a dive operation to myself or letting out the 'secret' so that other folks who value quality service and... More

My friend Chris and I really enjoyed and respected Nuria and the staff at Octopus Dive School. Eva and Arturo we great, knowledgeable, fun dive masters. The reefs were close, colorful, interesting and numerous. The barrier reef is probably 100 - 200 yards off the shore on the ocean side of the island and all up and down the coast.... More
