Hazel Grant
Boat Captain
Hazel, our captain with the music! Hazel was born on the island and started driving boats when he was 6 years old! (At least now he’s tall enough to see over the helm). Hazel’s boat is "La Flaca", which means “The Skinny” due to its long sleek shape.
His favorite thing to see while we are out on the boat are Dolphins, and luckily we see them very often while travelling to our dive sites.

Anthony Mark-Washington
Boat Captain
Anthony was born on Roatan and due to growing up with boats, Anthony knows everything you need to about our reef system, dive sites and any other facts you would like to know about Roatan!
You will find Anthony on our boat "El Ray" which means "The King". His throne is up the ladder, meaning the whole bottom deck is completely for our divers - where we have plenty of space to relax before we roll into the water.
