About Texas (The Point)
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.
