Living in Roatan

I wonder if any of the dive ops have housing available for their staff? Or at least a listing of share opportunities?

Shouldn't be too hard to make friends and find a roommate after getting there. Never heard of any diveshops in West End offering accomodations for their staff. There isn't that much of a demand for dive pros there.. On the PADI Pro site, I've seen more remote locations in other parts of the world offer something like that.

We can provide you with accomodation in our Pro house:

Our 13 Bedroom Pro house is one of the offerings that really sets Go Pro Caribbean and Coconut Tree Divers apart. Not only is it competitvely priced, but its location 4-5 minutes walk to Coconut Tree Divers and the center of West End gives you the choice of bars, restaurants and other activities that no other IDC center can offer, you won't feel trapped in a remote location when you stay in the Go Pro Caribbean accommodations!

It has a pool the onsite restaurant is number 1 on Trip Advisor for the whole of the Bay islands. There is nighttime security and it is all within a fenced compound.

Coconut Tree Divers, PADI Career Development Center, Roatan, - IDK if he can get in there without paying for some course though.

Our 2 Go Pro - 6 Bedroom Houses Accommodation option takes the headache of finding somewhere to stay on Roatan.
This option is provided with our Eco-Divemaster internships and IDC - EFR & MSDT Prep programs and offers clean, comfortable spacious twin-share rooms with electric fan and shared closet. Both Houses feature western-style bathrooms with hot water and toilets and a private entrances which opens to a modern kitchen with Large Fridge and 6 Burner Stove & Oven then into the large community living area with Cable T.V which leads to a private balcony with communal table and a private laundry area . Both Houses are located in the same SAFE area for convenience

One more thing, if I was living on Roatan, I'd want a place with some security features. At least gated/fenced maybe someone on-site all the time. A house I rented 5 mins. walk from town had it's own 24 hr. watchman since it was a little isolated. Otherwise I felt pretty safe in the West End - there's people moving around till pretty late at night.

We always had a 'watchie---with a (loaded) gun'---24/7......& he shot & killed someone about year 2000....
