This was my second visit to Bananarama. My fiancee and I were there in December and we both enjoyed it so much that we had to book another trip. (Just to demonstrate what kind of a dive operation this is, I got there on a Monday afternoon, and it wasn't clear that they were going to have the numbers to... More

This place made us feel right at home with them. We'd just walk out of our room & right into the dive shop to start our day! My husband & I were staying next door at Paradise Beach Resort but it was still very close! We really enjoyed diving with Zoe! Also, I got my "Advanced" certification while I was... More

We recently returned from a cruise on the Carnival Conquest that stopped in Honduras. We decided to book our own dive to get the best dive experience. They were waiting on us just outside the gate to the tourism village port and returned us with the tourism village in plenty if time to hot the shops prior loading the cruise... More

My fiance received her certification in 6 days after she read 300 pages in 36 hours took all the required skills. Marco in charge there was a great host, good friend and really made us feel at home in this dive shop. I ended up diving 9 times and it was amazing my favorite site was the hole in the... More

Marco at the front desk was very well organized and just so kind! Thanks to all our great dive guides- Martine, Zoe, and Mark. They were all enthusiastic and on it!

Me and my wife did two dives with this dive shop and we loved it. even though my wife was having a hard time purging her mask. We still had great dives. Very nice people and the second dive was better than the first...but that is how it usually is when diving they save best for last. But the first... More

Bananarama divemasters know what they're doing, where to go and how to make the most out of the island sites. The four of us arrived to get our certification dives in after taking the on-line tests. Zoe is the best guide I can imagine having - cheerful and upbeat but under the water she is clear and in control. On... More

This review is for the dive shop only, not the hotel. We spent a week with Bananarama. All of the dive sites were beautiful and required no more than a 5-7 minute boat ride from the beach. Group sizes were always small (typically one group of 5-6 divers to a boat). The boats are fairly small and do not have... More

To be clear, this is a review for the Dive Center ONLY. The hotel needs a lot of help and is not a great value but the dive center is top notch. I traveled with a friend and we purchased an all inclusive package that included three daily dives. The staff were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and fun. The diving was... More

This was our first time diving since becoming certified. I was very nervous checking in on that first morning to dive. However, the Dive Masters made me comfortable right away and made sure that my equipment was set up properly and did it in a very professional, friendly way.Once we got in the water, they were very patient in waiting...
