Roatan diving is famous for the world-class wall dives along with several sunken ships where purposeful artificial reefs were created. The fringe reefs are easily accessible from land by a mere 10 minute boat ride. Between the beach and open water are a variety of topographical features providing unique habitats for abundant marine life. The reef walls are nutrient rich waters that sustains the lush reefs and brings a great wealth of boo-diversity from throughout the Caribbean. It is estimated that 90% of all marine life in the Caribbean is present and seen while Roatan diving. The outer reef slopes gently to the reef crest that is visable by breaking waves.
There are over 100 dive sites along the North and South shores of the Island more heavily frequented near the West End area. These sites range from caves, canyons, crevices, drop-offs and swim-throughs. Roatan diving at night is a big treat as well as trying a shark dive. Specialty dives are offered by most dive shops, so try one!
Watch out, Roatan diving is addictive!
