Our Story

A Dive Center by Two Friends

Moana Divers Roatán was born from our shared passion for the ocean. We’re Mauricio Riquelme and Cristóbal Molina, and our diving journey began in Rapa Nui and mainland Chile. After earning our PADI MSDT certifications and falling in love with underwater photography, we knew we wanted to build something meaningful around the sea.

Why Roatan

After traveling and diving in different places, we found our paradise in Roatán. Four years ago, we opened Moana Divers, right on the beach at Half Moon Bay. We focus on safety, small groups, and personalized service, offering unforgettable experiences—from fun dives and night dives to shark adventures and macro photography, always with top-quality gear and a relaxed, professional vibe.

The name Moana

The name “Moana” comes from our roots in Rapa Nui, where “Vai Moana” means “Deep Blue.” For us, it’s more than a name—it’s a way to share our culture, respect for nature, and a deeper connection to the ocean. Through Moana Divers, we invite you to explore not just the underwater world, but the spirit behind it.

Dive, Learn, and Explore

At Moana Divers, we offer a variety of experiences for every level. Whether you’re here for adventure or relaxation, we have the perfect program for you.

Feel at Home

Our mission is simple: to make every guest feel welcome, safe, and part of our diving family. We believe diving should be fun, relaxed, and full of good energy.

Protecting What We Love

We follow responsible diving practices, support local conservation projects, and share knowledge about preserving Roatan’s reefs.
