Roatan Dive Week: Mayan Princess Luxury Resort & Five Days on the Mesoamerican Reef (Dec 11–18, 2027)

On Roatán’s western shore, West Bay’s powder-white sand and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef meet in a compact stretch of sea that ranks among the Caribbean’s best dive playgrounds. From December 11–18, 2027, Scuba.com’s Roatan Dive Trip centers at the Mayan Princess Beach & Dive Resort offering seven nights of island comfort and five days of guided diving that explore wall drops, wrecks, and canyons along living coral gardens.

The Mayan Princess sits steps from West Bay’s beach and lays out resort perks—four specialty restaurants, a 250-foot Blue Lagoon with in-pool Jacuzzi, canopy beach beds, and unlimited premium drinks—so surface hours feel as well curated as your dives. Boat logistics are valet-style: three daily boat dives for five days plus a complimentary night dive, with tanks and weights included in the trip price and additional gear rental available locally or through Scuba.com.

Diving Roatán is about vertical color: towering sponges, delicate sea plumes, and rope-like gorgonians cling to steep walls that drop into cool blue canyons. Expect schooling jacks, eagle rays and frequent reef sharks; eagle-eyed divers sometimes encounter hammerheads on deeper passages. The surrounding Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is the largest reef system in the Western Hemisphere, and Roatán’s sites highlight its coral ridges, patch reefs, and accessible wrecks—great for photographers and for divers of varied experience.

Practical comforts matter on a week-long trip. Accommodations range from One-Bedroom Poolside and Trundle rooms to Beachfront rooms at Las Sirenas Mayan Princess, each with kitchenettes and balconies so you can rinse gear and dry fins without leaving your suite. Transfers from Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport (RTB) are included; the resort is roughly a 25-minute drive.

Trip leader Devin Hoag of Scuba.com brings deep regional experience and conservation-forward teaching—her background in marine science and years as an exhibit diver shape group briefings and underwater etiquette. Nitrox is available for an extra fee; travel and dive insurance, flights, and tips are not included.

This package balances relaxed resort life with purposeful diving—ideal for travelers who want five full days on the reef without worrying about logistics. Whether you’re filling a photo slate with macro life, plotting wall-to-wreck itineraries, or simply decompressing between dives, the combination of West Bay’s clear water, the Mayan Princess’s amenities, and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef’s biodiversity makes this week-long Roatán departure a compelling pick for serious divers and resort-minded ocean lovers alike.

Bookings include seven-night accommodation in a one-bedroom villa options, three dives per day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and airport shuttle; tanks and weights are included while full dive kit is optional. Remember airport departure tax, gratuities, and travel insurance are not covered. For booking inquiries contact Devin at [email protected] or use the trip referral link to secure your space.
