Sign up at a dive shop at home and do the theoretical part and confined water work in a pool or a lake with your local instructor. After completion your local instructor will sign your referral forms. Our instructors will complete your training with four open water boat dives in the warm waters of Roatán. Once certified you can spend the rest of your time exploring with your dive buddy.
