Hotel Guanaja & Guanaja Dive Center

We are an active participant and contributor to multiple environmental, research, and community initiatives on the island, integrating responsible diving practices with meaningful local engagement.

Our diving operations are fully customized to each group’s preferences. We explore dive sites all around the island and prioritize relaxed, extended dive profiles, regularly offering dives exceeding 60 minutes when conditions allow. Our equipment fleet consists of nearly new MARES gear, with capacity for up to 20 recreational divers, supported by a new air compressor, Silent Submersion Minnus DPVs, full night diving capability, and conservation-focused activities such as lionfish hunting followed by preparation and cooking.

Diver safety and comfort are absolute priorities. We operate with strict safety protocols, a calm and unrushed pace, and a strong emphasis on proper procedures. Our safety infrastructure includes an onsite oxygen generator OGSI CFP-15+ capable of producing oxygen up to 96% purity, DAN oxygen kits equipped with Philips AEDs, and comprehensive emergency readiness onboard. Our dive boats are equipped with an Iridium satellite phone, USCG-approved first aid kits, life rafts, and surface floats, ensuring a high level of preparedness in all operating conditions.

We are also a fully equipped Technical Diving facility, offering Technical Nitrox and Trimix diving and training. We provide full CCR support for up to 10 CCR divers, with 10 diluent and 10 oxygen 2.0L steel CCR cylinders onsite, supported by one electro-driven O₂ booster and one pneumatic O₂ booster. We maintain continuous availability of Sofnolime and Intersorb CO₂ absorbents, as well as CO, O₂, and Helium analyzers for precise gas verification. For decompression and stage diving, we offer 40 cf and 80 cf cylinders with DIN valves.

For open-circuit technical configurations, we support both backmount and sidemount diving. Our backmount setup includes four complete technical sets, featuring OMS wings and backplates, paired with SCUBAPRO and APEKS regulators. Our sidemount capability includes six complete sidemount systems, equipped with dedicated sidemount BCDs and regulators from XDeep, Hollis, Dive Rite, and AGIR-BROKK, allowing flexibility across different diver preferences and training standards.

Our hotel cabañas are spacious, recently renovated, and designed for comfort and privacy. The restaurant is widely praised for its unforgettable cuisine, and our dedicated team consistently goes above and beyond to ensure a welcoming and personalized stay.

We welcome every guest as friends and family coming to visit, and we take pride in delivering safe, unhurried, and memorable dive experiences—whether recreational or technical—both above and below the surface.
