Barefoot divers is "on the main land" across a small water channel from Barefoot Cay. This is the dive shop you use from barefoot Cay. The shop was great. They had top notch equipment for rentals, were knowledgeable and friendly. I would use them again and again.

My son and I dove with Barefoot last year and it was incredible. We were spoiled with the service we got. The dive shop is first rate and the lunch was top fare. These guys have a first rate dive program that I would put up against anyone. This was only our second ocean dive and the guides were really... More

My wife & I did our first 2 open water dives towards our certification with Luc & Tex. About a 5 minute drive from the Cruise ship pier you pull into an awesome little harbor & resort. Just being there you felt the stress melt away. Luc & Tex are the best. The first site we went to was called... More

When we learned that the Sears annual incentive trip would be a cruise with a port of call to the island of Roatan , I knew that scuba diving was the only thing i wanted to do!   Although certified, my daughter and I had not dived for a couple of years.  All of the cruise ship dive excursions required...

We stayed at Barefoot Cay and had a wonderful experience, so I may be a little biased in favor of the dive shop. We did not scuba dive, but erveryone of the divers I spoke with raved about the shop. We were a group of 8 snorkelers, and they took us out on a separate boat to a beautiful reef... More

If you want to see what a real dive shop looks like from everything from the construction to its boats....then check this place out. I spent 2 months in the West End getting my DM license and managed to find a day off where I could go dive my favorite site on the island. Having dove this site a couple... More

We did a one tank dive to Mary's Place site while at port from Carnival Legend. It was easy to get to from Mahogany Bay Pier, just a $10 per person round trip taxi ride. Only a 5 minute ride. The facilities were awesome including a fresh water shower in the restrooms to rinse off after the dive. The staff... More

These guys have re-written the book on service. The location is perfect to dive Mary's Place or the dozens of sites on the south shore. If the only diving you do is in West End you're missing a fantastic experience. Found the equipment, boats and level of service excellent Proper dive briefings after dive fruit to clense the salt taste... More

Unlike some other dive operations that take recreational divers there were always more than enough dive masters to divers! The boat men and the dive masters are friendly and informative about their dive sites, corals and fish.
