Roatan has warm water around 27°C to 29°C, short boat rides, and a mix of walls, canyons, shallow reefs, and wrecks. West End and West Bay access Blue Channel, The Bight, and the Odyssey wreck fast, while south side resorts like CoCo View add house reefs and the Prince Albert wreck. Moorings keep boats off the coral and most sites are within a quick ride.
Famous canyon dive where you drop into a narrow crack around {{ 12 | distance:m }} and follow towering walls down to about {{ 30 | distance:m }} with dramatic light and dense encrusting life.
Large freighter wreck on the north shore in roughly {{ 30 | distance:m }} of water, with big open holds and rails that attract barracuda, grouper, and schooling fish.
Shadowy natural channel linking lagoon and outer reef near Sandy Bay, with steep walls, overhead sections, and a reef exit where turtles and groupers cruise by.
Canyon filled north side reef with cuts and small caverns reminiscent of Marys Place, plus macro life like slipper lobsters and shrimps.
