Popular Roatán channel dive with shallow swim-throughs, a turtle-grass exit, and quick boat access from West End.
About Blue Channel
Blue Channel is a classic Roatán channel dive with a shallow reef cut, swim-throughs, and a turtle-grass finish. It is usually run as a quick boat dive from West End or nearby bases, and it rewards divers who keep buoyancy tight through the shallow passages. Expect a mix of schooling fish, rays, macro life, and a few overhead sections rather than a long, open reef swim.
