Lighthouse Reef sits off West End on Roatan's north coast and is a boat-access wall-and-channels site.
About The Lighthouse Reef
Lighthouse Reef is a north-shore Roatan boat dive with a wall, channels, and shallow areas that make it useful for both easy exploration and student training. The site is known for healthy reef life and a relaxed short-boat format from West End and nearby dive centers. It is a classic Bay Islands dive rather than a shore entry, and it works well when you want a compact trip with plenty of reef structure.
