Just returned from a week in Roatan. Wanted to let you know about our dive operator who is fairly new (as an owner, worked for others on the island previously.)
Anemone Divers is located in West Bay by Fosters Resort. This is a smallish operation with great individualized service. The owners and all of the folks we met are all instructors. Owners Sophie and Mary Paz are delightful as are Sara and Sergio who work with them. We dove with all four during the course of the week and found them not only very competent but also delightful. We also observed their instruction with two Rescue diver candidates and an OW class with a family of four. They are meticulous in the attention to detail. We were able to plan our dives according to our wishes, not some pre-arranged schedule. While we all brought our own equipment I was able to observe that their rental stock is all relatively new, high quality and appears well maintained. Its a small boat operation so no cattle calls here. Since all dive operators in Roatan seem to charge identical rates its hard to imagine going off with one that does not provide the level of options and service that Anemone does. Bottom line--next trip I won't even consider shopping around, just e-mail Sophie with the dates.
