2020 and 2021 Travel Dive Trips

We have run a shop trip five years in a row now to the wonderful island of Roatan Honduras! We have the absolutely BEST deal around without cutting corners. The resort is absolutely beautiful and the diving is world class. We saw at least one turtle on EVERY dive on all four trips and the reef is in absolutely wonderful condition. Truly an experience you should partake in.
