Barefoot Divers

Valet Diving Services:

“Our on-site dive shop offers valet dive services – “We do the work, and you have the fun”. Our staff will take care of setting up your gear, and disassembling and rinsing it when the dive is done.  We offer small groups, and all our dives are guided by PADI instructors.  The dive boats are covered to offer protection from sun exposure, and are equipped with camera rinse tanks, emergency first aid and oxygen, and floater lines.  As the exclusive dive operators in this area of Roatan’s North Shore, our guests often enjoy the privilege of typically being the only divers at our dive sites.  Spectacular dive sites are just a short boat ride away from Palmetto's dock.”

As we keep our groups small, reservations are recommended.  If you have or will be making reservations to vacation at Palmetto Bay Plantation, please let our reservations department know you will be diving.  Also for for further inquiries about our dive services, or to make or confirm a reservation for diving, snorkeling, or PADI scuba courses, please contact us at diving@palmettobayplantation.com
