Native Sons Water Sports

Native Sons Water Sports is one of the original Roatan dive shops, set up 35 years ago in West End, Honduras. Family owned and run by local island dive legend Alvin Jackson and his English wife Michele, it carries a wonderfully laid-back island vibe. Both were founding members of the Roatan Marine Park and remain passionate about protecting the reef. With over 1200 five-star reviews across multiple platforms, it's a name divers trust.

Wall diving all year round

The diving here is all wall diving, so you can hover at 40 feet or drop deeper as your experience allows. Conditions stay great year round with calm seas, good visibility and little current. Fun dives last an hour, or as long as your air holds, guided by experienced PADI instructors. Explore sites like Hole In The Wall, Overheat Reef, Canyon Reef, Melissa's Reef and Blue Channel, where sharks, turtles, rays and reef fish keep every dive interesting.

With 3 recreational dives a day, weekly night dives and small personalised groups, the shop teaches all PADI courses from Open Water to Dive Master. English and Spanish are spoken, and the beachfront base includes a classroom, free Wi-Fi and an on-site café — perfect for divers who come back year after year.
