About Half Moon Wall
Half Moon Wall is Roatan's classic shore-access wall: a shallow start over the reef, then a clean drop to a deep wall lined with black coral, orange elephant sponges, and lots of fish life. It suits divers who want an easy entry, a readable wall profile, and a site that still rewards disciplined depth control.
