    Outstanding Experience for the Non-experienced Diver (and experienced, too)
    Christian_P, Dec 2023
    When we got off the cruise ship at Roatan, the tour driver was there waiting for us with a sign easy to find. We drove out of town to the attractive beach resort of Upachaya (oo'-puh-chai-uh) about a half hour away. There our dive instructor Peter K met us and guided us through all the steps of the PADI-authorized introductory dive. Peter was very personable and competent as he fitted us for the dive, checked equipment (and replaced some faulty equipment), and covered all outfitting details. Instruction was careful and thorough. Equipment was first rate. We started with a pool session. When Peter was sure we knew all the diving and safety procedures, we proceeded to the dive boat (a first-class boat with twin 175 hp outboards that purred like a kitten and ran like a leopard). The open ocean (outside the reef) was quite choppy, and Peter assessed it to be less than safe, so we came back inside the reef where the currents and wave motion were much calmer. The reef is an amazing place to dive, packed with colorful tropical fish and coral of every description. Peter pointed out interesting things to see as he guided us over the reef, all the while attentive to any issues. Tanks and equipment were comfortable and worked without a hitch. We could dive as deep as we wanted, up to 40 feet. We were in the water at the reef for about a half hour, which feels like a good duration for a Discovery dive. After the dive, Peter and his dive assistant helped us remove dive gear and talked with us for a while (Peter has been diving in many locations all over the world). Negatives: No complaints about the trip at all; everything was very well done for an excellent experience. But note that there is a form you have to fill out (for all Discovery dives, not just this one) that the website doesn't tell you about ahead of time. It asks you about your physical condition, including your ability to walk a mile within a time constraint (14 min) and whether you take medications. Any negative response and you will not be allowed to dive without a doctor's evaluation. And you don't learn about the questionnaire until you actually arrive at the dive destination. It is something that should be disclosed in the tour descriptions prior to booking. It's not a trivial detail. All-in-all we (my daughter and I, ages 29 and 72) had a wonderful time. It was her first dive and they made it an amazing experience. It's clear to me that this dive shop ("Roatan Tour Guide Association") would be very good for experienced divers as well. I recommend this excursion for all adventurers.
