About Blue Cave
Blue Cave is a south-side Roatan shore dive that starts in shallow clear water before leading divers to a roomy cave feature set against rocky reef structure. It suits newer divers who want a simple overhead-style experience with good natural light, easy Caribbean reef conditions, and regular chances to see barracuda, turtles, and groupers around the entrance and nearby reef.
