We visited Roatan for the second time March 6th thru the 13th. After the first trip, my wife and I were hooked and had to come back. I have always wanted to scuba dive, but could never get up the courage to go. Well, this trip was going to be different.
We went to Bananarama Dive shop on the referral of a friend we have on the island. When we arrived at the shop, we were teamed up with Jordan who would be our guide for our first adventure. None of the people in our group had ever dove before, so we were a green behind the gills team to say the least.
Jordan was extremely patient, professional and thorough with all of us throughout the whole process, even with all of our silly questions and general concerns about what could be expected. After an informative crash course where we learned all the equipment and how to operate it as well as hand signals for all of us to be able to communicate while diving, we were off to the water.
When we entered the water, Jordan made sure well all had equal amount of attention and guidance while learning how to navigate all the equipment and move through the water itself. After we learned what to expect and how to navigate, we were off. Jordan was always within view and was great in pointing out all the marine life that you would never see if you didn't know what you were looking at. She continuously checked on all of us and made sure we felt comfortable and safe.
This dive ended up being one of the best experiences we have had on the island so far and I recommend the shop and especially Jordan. I definitely think it takes a certain kind of person to take 4 strangers 40 ft. under water for the first time and Jordan is just that. We will definitely be back for more.
Thank you for the five star experience! - via
