I recently traveled to Roatan for the first time and completed my open water certification with Native Sons. It was an outstanding experience! I'm not sure I met all of the Native Sons family, but Alex, Eddie, Zoe and Mish were all wonderful. In addition to conducting themselves in a professional manner, they are also highly skilled divers and I... More

Stayed at Chillies Hotel, which is part of the same operation as Native Sons Dive Shop. I'm a experienced diver and travel with my own equipment, so I cannot comment on their equipment. However, I have nothing but praise for the staff (or Dive Slaves as they refer to themselves). Extremely professional and wiilling to go the extra distance to... More

We just returned home after spending two great weeks of diving with Native Sons. This was our second trip in three years diving with them and plan to do more in the future. Alvin, the owner of N.S. helped me with an equipment problem in the beginning of our stay and ended up taking my regulator to the other end... More

My husband and I are repeat customers of Native Sons and this time we brought some diving friends with us. We all enjoyed many dive trips with the team meeting both past friends and making new ones. During our 2 weeks we had the opportunity to take 2 day trips on Alvin's marvellous dive boat. We went to Barbaretta and... More

Initially came to this operation from a cruise boat and was impressed with the set up and recommended it to a close friend who brought his 3 teenage grand children to dive and used the dive operation. Came back with same friend and another, staying in the cabins this time and diving for a week. Found it to be a... More

Glad we ventured onto this little dive shop! Christian & Ralphy were our guides...small crew of 7 of us had our own boat...hit 2 spots. Very relaxed. Negotiate taxi ride from cruise docks...we only paid $40 total, round trip for 7 of us...other unskilled negotiators were paying $15 per person, each way! I would use this company again! More

I stayed and dove with Native Sons/Chillies for 9 days in Dec. 2011. Accomidtions were outstanding (for a budget traveler like myself) and all of the staff at the hotel and dive shop were professional and helpful. And they may be the best value on the island. All of the dives were with very small groups so- 1 in fact... More

I was recommended this dive shop by a friend who was just finishing her advanced with them. Used to the "Swiss way of business" I felt super bad just turning up there one morning for a dive without arranging this waaaay before. Obviously this was not a problem at all. It was also not a problem that I couldn't remember... More

We are a family including our 11 year old son so we were particular about the dive shop to choose for our open water course. Native Sons turned out to be a fantastic decision. Alex Harper Brown who was our instructor was very particular and serious about how she ran the course, which is exactly what we wanted, given our... More
