Reef Gliders 5 Star Resort is located right on the water in the heart of West End village. We are one of only two dive centers lucky enough to be located on the water. This means that during your surface intervals, and at the end of the day when you are hanging out with the crew after a great day's diving, you may be lucky enough to see octopus, small stingrays, permit, bonefish and a host of other sealife just off the deck. You also get to see spectacular sunsets every day of your holiday.
We have a range of dive accessories for sale such as logbooks, masks, fins, dive books and dive site guides, underwater cameras, mask straps, clips, defog, dry bags, dvd's and much more.
Our equipment includes Sherwood and Mares regulators and BCD's. All our gear is less than 4 years old and is regularly maintaned by our qualified staff. Our aluminium tanks are all within their hydrostatic test dates and are visually inspected and serviced on a regular basis. We also have smaller tanks for children.
Our compressed (breathing) air is filled by a MAX-AIR 90 compressor. As a PADI 5 Star Resort, we send air samples to the USA every quarter to undergo a range of tests by Trace Analytics laboratory. Each quarter we are issued with a Certificate of Air Worthiness which is on display in the dive center. This means that you can dive in the comfort of knowing that the air that you are breathing is free of oil particles and other contaminents.
 We have three dive boats to give you the flexibility of choosing your dive sites for the day. Our main boat, Diablo Del Mar, is a 26ft long boat imported from Miami and converted for diving here on Roatan. It is powered by a 200HP 2-stroke outboard engine, ensuring you can get to most dive sites within a short 10 minute journey. Being over 7 feet wide there is plenty of space for 14 people including our staff. For large groups we take additional divemasters to ensure that divers with differeing air-consumptions can all maximise their dive times. This boat has partial cover for those of you who get sunburnt easily.
Nelson's Revenge is also a 26ft long boat powered by a 115HP Mercury 4-stroke outboard engine. It can hold 10 divers, incluuding staff and is great for taking experienced divers to some of the more long-range sites. Nelson's Revenge also has partial cover from the sun.
Reef Ladder is a 22ft panga powered by a 75HP Yamaha 2-stroke engine. It can hold 8 divers including staff and is primarily used for courses and snorkellers. However, it is still fast enough to cover the whole of the Marine Park sites in around 15 minutes.
All our boats are fully equipped with vhf radios, spare equipment, first aid kits, emergency oxygen, life vests and water. To our knowledge we are the ONLY dive center in West End to have such a range of safety gear onboard our boats.
