Lighthouse is a west-end Roatan reef that combines shallow sand patches with a reef wall and is commonly used for student training and relaxed fish watching.
About Lighthouse
Lighthouse is a popular Roatan reef dive with shallow sand patches that make it a comfortable place for training and slow, careful reef watching. It suits divers who want an easy-to-read route, lots of schooling-fish energy, and a site that stays interesting without needing a deep profile to do the work. The reef and sandy areas give the dive a relaxed feel, but the site still rewards good buoyancy and awareness of the group around you.
