Roatán wall dive with coral, drift current, and big fish.
West End Wall is a Roatán wall dive where a shallow reef top drops into a long coral-and-sponge wall with ledges, canyons, and plenty of fish life. Most dives run as a gentle drift or short boat pickup, and the site is popular because it combines clear water with big views into the blue. Expect turtles, rays, groupers, wrasse, jacks, and the occasional shark if the day is right.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
6m - 27m
Depth Note
The reef begins shallow and drops along the wall from about 6 m into the high 20s, with a shallow crest that is still useful in calm water.
Best Season
March to June for the clearest, calmest windows, though the site is dived year-round.
Typical Conditions
Steep wall with coral fingers, ledges, and canyons; gentle to moderate drift is common and current can build near the point.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Access Restrictions
Best with a boat plan that matches the current and pickup point; this is not a casual shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow Roatán Marine Park and operator briefing guidance.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Intermediate-level wall dive with depths from roughly 6–27 m.
Freediving
The shallow crest can work for experienced freedivers in calm water, but the wall itself is mainly a scuba profile.
Snorkeling
The reef crest can be snorkeled in calm conditions, though the wall and drift make scuba the better fit.
