Moonlight
Moonlight is a West End wall dive with sandy teaching patches.
Boat-access West End reef with a shallow top, deeper wall, and easy route planning for training dives, relaxed cruising, and night work.
About Moonlight
Moonlight is a West End Roatan boat dive with a shallow reef top, sandy mooring patches, and a deeper wall that makes it useful for relaxed reef cruising, training dives, and night dives. The route is easy to read once you drop onto the reef top, and the site usually rewards careful buoyancy with a mix of wall structure, coral ridges, and fish action rather than a single long swim.
