Texas (The Point) is Roatan's classic west-point drift dive.
Texas (The Point) is Roatan's western-point drift dive, where flat plains, oversized barrel sponges, and a wall edge come together in a current-driven route. The dive is usually run as a boat drop with pickup on the down-drift side after the current has carried divers around the point. It is a strong fit for divers who like big fish, changing flow, and a site that feels different depending on where the drift settles. The wall side asks for more control, while the plateau rewards a slower look at the structure and marine life.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Plan the drift direction before entry, keep an eye on the wall side, and let the boat pickup happen on the down-current side of the point.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; the current and pickup point should be matched before entry.
Legal Notes
Follow Roatan Marine Park rules and boat briefings; do not touch coral or marine life.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Boats usually drop near the point and drift the Texas circuit before pickup, with the wall side reserved for more controlled buoyancy.
Freediving
Not a freedive site; the current and wall/plateau layout make scuba the practical option.
Snorkeling
Not a practical snorkeling site; the interesting terrain sits below the surface and the current is part of the dive.
