2020 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.

PDF TRIP FLIER TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS!

We will be departing BWI (Baltimore Washington International) Airport on Saturday December 12th and returning on Saturday December 19th. 

Heard that Honduras isn't the best place to visit? Worried about your safety? This resort is located on Roatan which is an island off the main coast of Honduras. We felt very safe and never had one issue while exploring the island. The main source of income is tourism so they treat visitors right!

Not a diver? Don't worry! The resort has some of the most pristine beach we have ever seen and several pools including a lagoon style pool next to the bar! There is also plenty to do if your'e not the "lay in the sun" type. From zip-lining adventures, jungle tours, monkey experiences, to shopping, you won't be bored in Roatan! 

This is an ALL INCLUSIVE trip which means you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Let us do the work, you just relax and enjoy your vacation.
