My husband loved it. It was a controlled shark dive. He was chasing after the sharks to get their pictures. He received with the dive package an HD CD of the whole experience from the class room to the waters.

This was my second time to go on this dive. The first time we were allowed to swim around with the sharks. This time they would not let us. Also, after we returned to the dive shop, we were pretty much forced to watch the video of our dive. They were trying to get you to buy a copy. This... More

The dive was decent, the price for just the dive was fair. My problem was the service. I didn't take my camera because they told me I could by the expensive video($50). I didn't argue, I wanted a copy at whatever price. However, after the dive they claimed it was taking longer and they would bring it to my hotel.... More

This was possibly the best thing I have ever done in diving. It is an itimate experience. We swam with about 6-8 reef sharks ranging from 4 feet to 10 feet and we saw them shed apart the fish that the crew was feeding them. It will me a memory for a life time and I am just glad I... More

This was a great experience. After hooking up our gear to the tanks provided (check your air pressure is at 3000psi before going down) and being given a briefing, Robert (our dive master) took 4 of us (really lucky and nice to have a small group which can at times be up to 16-20 people on the dive) down to...

The Shark Dive on Roatan is typically booked through your dive center with the Waihuka Adventure Dive Center in Coxen Hole. If you have any interest and appreciation for sharks and large sea life you will want to take this dive before it is too late and Roatan and the shark dive are discovered by hoards of eco-tourists. It is... More

Sharks, Sharks, Sharks, what a great dive. They have a great briefing prior to the dive which helps those that are alittle nervous. We went on a day that was extremely calm with no current so it was great but apparently this is unusual so be prepared. Once under water it is everything you imagined. Definately worth the money

Above average organized, staff and Dive Master. Sergio gave a thorough, comforting briefing, and obviously has trained all his team to be professional, focused and safe. The dive itself was easy and probably the most exciting underwater adventure I've experienced during the 30 dives I've been on over the past 3 years.. Definitely worth every dollar and a generous tip... More

Once you are there is stright forward they have a easy rope that takes you down the 65 feet if the current is running . Once the divers are settled on bottom and the bait is out... More

I was really looking forward to this dive but left feeling ripped off and disappointed. For starters, the "dive shop" is a room with a compressor in it. Then, they have all the tanks out on the pier (caps off, wondered if the tanks were full or used???) and you just assume you're to go and set up your own... More
