We'd suggest at least a month ahead, especially if you're coming during high season (December–April). We do accept walk-ins when we have space, but last-minute availability isn't guaranteed. We're open seven days a week, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Yes, but reach out to us at info@tranquilseas.com in advance. Cruise ship dives need private charters and transport arranged ahead of time, so a bit more planning goes into making sure your short time on the island works out.

Most divers join us for two boat dives a day, with a third possible in the afternoon. Your dive professional will help you plan a safe, comfortable schedule.

Most of our sites are a short ride from our dock — often 5–20 minutes by boat, since the reef sits close to shore around Roatán.

Yes. If you've never dived before, Try Scuba Diving is a great starting point — no certification required, just a short introduction and a real dive on the reef.

Yes — our Open Water Diver course runs over about three days, and if you'd rather do the classroom portion before you arrive, e-learning lets you knock that out ahead of time.

Generally, yes, within reason — we group divers by certification level and comfort, and our small-group format makes it easier to accommodate mixed groups than a larger operation could.

Yes, full sets of well-maintained gear are available to rent, or you're welcome to bring and store your own with us.

Yes — Best Dive Roatan is on-site at Tranquilseas Resort, and our dive and stay packages combine both in one booking.

Yes, we can arrange private guides and customized dive schedules — just mention it when you contact us.

We teach primarily through SSI, and can also arrange PADI training when that better fits a diver's existing certifications or plans.

Yes — snorkeling, a picnic trip, deep sea fishing, the Pigeon Cay trip and Cayos Cochinos are all available for guests who aren't diving, and can be booked alongside your dive schedule.

No. Our captain will walk you through handline fishing from the first cast, whether you've fished before or not.

We accept Visa and MasterCard, as well as cash in either US Dollars or Honduran Lempiras. One thing worth knowing before you travel: damaged or torn USD notes aren't accepted anywhere on the island, so it's worth checking your bills before you leave home.

Gratuities aren't included in our pricing and there's no set amount — we'd rather you tip based on how your dives and service actually went.

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice if your plans change. Cancellations or no-shows with less notice than that are charged the full price of the scheduled dives or course.
