robinbtigger Posted March 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi there! Can anyone recommend a company in Roatan that offers both scuba and snorkel? My husband and 14-year old daughter both dive and they will want to do a 2-tank dive. I prefer to stay on the top of the water so I want to snorkel. Since I will be alone I want to be part of a group. I know that their dive will probably take longer than my snorkel so I'm also looking for someplace that is comfortable to hang out while I wait for them. Thanks!

092306 Posted March 23, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I can't recommend a particular company but, I have read in the past, people in a similar situation. If you do a search you might be able to find the post. Otherwise, my only other recommendation is to email dive companies and see what they say. I'm not particularly helpful but at least it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinbtigger Posted March 23, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks! That's what we are doing right now. If worse comes to worse I think ill book a snorkel trip with another company. I'll be fine as long as I am in a group. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed93 Posted March 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Try places like Bananarama, Subway Watersports or Las Rocas Dive Center. I have not personally used these, but came across all while I was doing research on another trip. I don't know if they carry mixed boatloads, but worst case, you go with other snorkelers and everyone meets back at the beach bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingforsix Posted April 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Just looked at Upachaya and it looks like they only have snorkeling tours . But it was one of the best we have ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattiecakes Posted April 4, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2014 We booked thru shoreexcusioner and went with Subway Watersports. They have 2 reef snorkelling and also offer Diving. We know this as there were 8 people on the Van and only myself and hubby went snorkelling while all the others went diving. They took great care of us and we were back in plenty of time.

Armedaneian Posted April 4, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 4, 2014 West Bay Beach has what you are looking for. Everyone will be able to enjoy the reef located along the shore, and there are many tour operators offering to take divers (or snorkelers) to offshore reefs. We always go to Bananarama, but even the cruise ship's section of the same beach (Tabyana) would be enjoyable. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinbtigger Posted April 9, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I want to thank everyone for their advise! My husband ended up booking with (I think) West End Divers dive shop. I booked a separate snorkel excursion with a $75 excursion credit we had with our travel agency. I think it will be with Subway Sports. We'll just meet back on the ship. Unfortunately, the whole thing is up in the air right now because NCL may skip Roatan next week. Edited April 9, 2014 by robinbtigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie MeMe Posted April 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Why skip Rotan? Just wondering as it is part of our November trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed93 Posted April 12, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Because an NCL crew member was killed during a robbery attempt and they don't feel it's safe at this time. That's NCL because they dock at Coxen Hole. Other ships may still call there with warnings to passengers.
