About Alaina’s Sandy Bottom
Alaina's Sandy Bottom is an easy Roatan boat dive built around a shallow mooring area, sandy channels, and large coral formations that rise out of the bottom. The site rewards slow navigation through the reef structure, with broad fans, coral towers, and a handful of swim-through-style cut-throughs giving it more interest than the name suggests. This is a beginner-friendly local reef rather than a demanding wall or drift. It works best for relaxed scuba and calm-condition snorkeling, where the simple sandy layout, mild conditions, and steady reef life make it a comfortable site for training, refreshers, and unhurried sightseeing.
