As scuba divers, we all remember the thrill of our first dive—the feeling of weightlessness, the vibrant marine life, and the sheer joy of exploring the underwater world. But as you gain experience and log more dives, you may find yourself yearning for new challenges and deeper adventures. That’s where technical diving, or “tec diving,” comes into play. If you’ve ever felt the pull to go beyond recreational limits, here’s why you should consider taking the plunge into technical diving.

At TopSub Academy Roatan, we are excited to introduce our new TDI Technical Divemaster internships, designed to create more comfortable, knowledgeable, and ultimately safer technical divers.

Our 1-3 months program goes beyond the basics, offering an immersive and comprehensive training experience that ensures you gain the confidence and skills needed to excel in technical diving.

Dolphin's Den is a dive site located in front of Punta Gorda, a Garifuna village, and the name origin is because some dolphin's sometimes get trapped inside the coral labyrinth without the possibility to get to the surface and breath.

For a pleasant dive is recommended small groups of experiment divers and with overhead environments experience and training.
