Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tidy in the swimthroughs and caverns, and stay close to the guide when following the wall and sand channels.

Boat access with a local dive operator is the practical path to Green Pearl.
Legal Notes
Use the Roatan Marine Park mooring and follow the local site briefing and park rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive. Good buoyancy helps through the swimthroughs and small caverns, and the wall/plateau layout rewards a slow pace.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the wall, channels, and moored boat access make it better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here; the main terrain is the wall, channels, and swimthroughs.
