Our group had a variety of skill levels. Ken and Cathy were very patient with us; teaching new divers and new snorkelers. They took us to a beautiful coral reef and explained how we can spear fish Lion fish.

Great diving away from the tourist crowd that Roatan attracts, all dive sites were in great condition. We went diving 5 times over 3 days while we were down there and each of the dives was something new and different, Bill and his staff were excellent and very knowledgeable.
While we were down there we stayed at Chapman house which was arranged by Dive Time, with all of our food catered we tried a variety of great local dishes.
We were there the last few days of March 2016 and the weather was great, no rain and not a cloud in the sky.

Amazing diving with an excellent dive team to look after us. Saw sharks, rays, lobsters, lion fish and lots more. Lots of dive choices - shallow, deep, caves, wrecks - ocean side or lee side. Stayed at Chapman house which was unbelievably fantastic - wonderful accommodations, great cooking doing local fare. In addition to diving we went bone fishing and pub hopping, as well as visited to local town, Bonacca, a couple of times which was like stepping back in time 70 years to a simpler time. Lovely friendly people - and not a tourist item for sale on the entire island!! Wonderful. Went with friends and family and everyone would definitely do it again.

Diving with Dive Time on Guanaja was a great experience. Myself and a group of friends used Bill while diving for a week in Guanaja during August. We did 2-3 dives a day and dove every side of the island. Bill was a great dive master and very knowledgeable about each dive site. We used two different dive boats, The Nimitz and The Panga. The Nimitz is a 45ft dive boat with a large covered deck on the back. This was a great boat. It was easy to get in and out, and even had a grill which cooked great hamburgers for lunch. The Panga is a large fast boat which we used to dive Barbaret, a remote island between Guanaja and Roatan.
The diving was second to none. Guanaja has pristine coral reefs, some of the best in the Caribbean and lots of fish. Each dive site offered a different experience, lots of dives with no currents, some drift driving, some canyon diving, and wreck dive.
I had a wonderful experience and would recommend Dive Time and diving in Guanaja to anyone.

I spent a week on Guanaja diving on many different dive sites, 14 dives in 5 days. The topography is varied but breathtaking on all sides of the island. Peter, our captain, found the best dive sites without fail, and Bill took us through great swim-throughs, underwater canyons, hidden passages and along breathtaking walls, all in a very relaxed and pleasant way. Each dive was a great experience, and Bill makes sure that you can enjoy it on your own pace, for as long as your tank lasts!
Guanaja is a diving paradise, and Bill Blakey is a great dive guide, I highly recommend both!

What a great place to dive and great way to dive. Guanaja has pristine coral reefs with a great diversity of underwater topography. Guanaja offers four distinct diving areas - so unlike many islands, you can dive almost any day because weather is much less of a factor.
Bill is great to dive with. He's always safe and never hurries a dive. These are not your 40 minute drop and go back up at minute 40. If you have an hour of air, Bill will stay down and dive for the full hour.
I'm a PADI Instructor and would recommend Bill to any of my friends or students!

We had an wonderful time diving with Bill Blakey of Dive Time while we stayed at La Giralda Resort. He provided everything (we only had to bring our masks) so it was all very easy and fun like it should be.
Bill is also an excellent teacher - personable and very patient - he was able to take our teenage son from beginner to experienced open water diver in just a few days. Thanks to Bill we dove Black Rock together as a family - an experience we will never forget.
We highly recommend Dive Time!!!

Loved the staff, the food was out of this world. They make you feel like a King who has everything at his disposal. Did not like that I had to leave! hahaha

Wanted to give a separate review of Dive Time, which is the dive facility associated with the Coral Bay Dive Resort. Also wanted to touch on the diving itself.
Dive Time has two boats.. a large modern dive boat, and a little "dorey". The big boat was out of commission for the week we were there, due to a broken engine belt, and then being grounded on a reef, which split a hull seam, so we took the dorey everywhere. The dorey is much faster, but has a much higher splash quotient!
We had a group of 6 and were met each morning by Pete and his son Eldon. The boat was loaded with enough tanks for several dives, which was a good thing, since often the tanks were underfilled or had leaky O rings. These are little steel tanks, which are much shorter than a regular tank, and much easier to manipulate. You also need MUCH less weight with them. I wore a 3mm wetsuite and was down to 4 pounds of weight by the last day, and still having to inflate my BC to accomodate being overweighted.. I probably could have gone with 2lbs or even none.
Pete and Eldon were always friendly and had our gear set up for us upon arrival. I would recommend checking, however, to make sure that the gear is on correctly, and that your tank is full (and air on) prior to jumping in. We swapped out a bunch of tanks during the week that were already setup. There were always plenty, and any issues never kept us from diving or delayed us in the slightest.. plus Pete and Eldon do all the switching!
The winds were high while we were there, making the water pretty choppy. We almost always went to the west side of the island in the morning, through the chanel that cuts through the island.. makes it very convenient to get to the sites. The west side diving is dramatic, and that's an understatement. There are huge caves and cravasses we swam into and through... sandy spits with towering coral pinnacles.. really interesting diving, and like nothing we've been to before. Even going back to the same spot and turning a different direction gave us different scenery. We mostly dove out and back, but several times, we just went along the reef until the end of the dive, and Eldon came and picked us up. Water temp this time of year was 80 at the surface and 77 to 79 at depth. I wish I had brought my 5mm, since I ended up cold on some of the dives.
In the afternoon, we usually went to a spot on the east side of the island... the reefs here are much more shallow... right up to the surface, so would be spectacular for snorklers.. the water here was much clearer than the west side, and warmer by a few degrees. The trip out to these reefs in the waves was usually a soaking wet adventure, and I actually put my mask on for a couple, so that I could continue to look around!
Getting into the water meant hauling yourself up onto the narrow edge of the boat, and back rolling into the water. The boat is small, so you have to be careful not to fin someone in the face! Getting out of the water was pretty easy... a ladder was lowered, and we took off fins, mask and BC in the water and they were taken from us, allowing us to climb the ladder without all our gear. Much easier!
Pete was an effective DM, and was careful to give us a briefing of what we were to see and which direction we were to go before each dive.. covering depth and times as well... we mostly stuck in a loose group following him.
Overall the reef systems of Guanaja are pretty incredible.. the corals and sponges are big and healthy.. we saw little evidence of damage, and although the reefs are still recovering from hurricane Mitch, which apparently was devestating back in 1999, they are already spectacular again. The only thing missing was fish and creatures. The locals still fish the reefs for their daily sustainenance, and it really shows. We saw a couple nurse sharks, two turtles, and only one adult trigger fish the entire week! The most common fish were the blue cromies, but even their schools were noticably small.
There is to be a moratorium on harvesting from the reef in the next few week, but unfortunately in order to take this away from the people of the islands, there must be something given as a substitute, and I don't think that's been well thought out, which means that illegal fishing will probably continue, or people will go further out to other reefs.
Overall Dive Time and Pete and Eldon were great... there were some issues with equipment, but again, nothing that kept or delayed us from diving. The topography of the underwater, especially the west side, with the caves and caverns might be a little advanced for a new diver, but there was always an opportunity not to enter, and just wait outside for everyone else to come through.
I would definitely go back to Coral Bay Dive Resort, and use Dive Time again, but I want to wait a few years for the fishing ban to really take effect, so that the quality and quantity of marine life matches the quality of the reefs themselves... the reefs are ready to sustain huge populations of fish and creatures.

I am thinking of one week of 3-dive days. 15 dives plus two night dives.
Late April or early May.
What would you charge?

Hi, are there underwater tours for people who don;t know swimming?
كُتب بتاريخ 26 سبتمبر 2018
No underwater tours that I know of around this island. No submarines if that's what you mean. This is a terrific place for certified divers. Our group had one snorkeler that swam over a reef on one of our dives. We did 3 dives per day at a different site every day and every dive site was unique. Our group of 17 stayed at the Villa on Dunbar Rock.
