Local operator required
Bear’s Den is normally dived from a moored boat on Roatan reef trips rather than by independent shore access.
A boat-access Roatan site with a large cave east of the mooring, reef growth around the entrance, and usually good visibility for an easy cavern-style plan.
About Bear’s Den
Bear’s Den is a Roatan boat dive built around a roomy cavern and tunnel section set just off the mooring, with reef structure, giant sponges, sea whips, and black coral adding interest around the overhead feature. It suits divers who are comfortable with simple overhead awareness, calm finning through a large cave space, and the generally clear Caribbean conditions that make this one of the island’s classic cavern-style reef dives.

Scuba Diving
A cave and tunnel system provides a focal point for the dive, with the main cave around 40 ft.
Freediving
Bear’s Den is primarily a scuba cavern site, and the overhead feature makes it a poor fit for casual freedive sessions.
Snorkeling
Bear’s Den is not a typical snorkel stop because the signature feature is a deeper cavern and reef section reached from a dive boat.
