TAKE THE SUBWAY TO SPECTACULAR REEFS IN ROATAN

Wall scuba diving at its best in RoatanRoatan is famous among scuba divers for its big variety of coral, which you can see from only a short boat ride away. Some of the best-known and most spectacular dive sites are just minutes away.

Roatan coralRoatan features scuba diving at its best. Thousand-foot walls festooned with deepwater gorgonians, coral gardens and barrel sponges, pillar coral, 60-foot deep ledges crowded with blackcap basslets, mini-walls clustered with bluebell tunicates, pinnacles overgrown with azure vase sponges, and shy indigo hamlets peering from niches are all aspects of scuba diving in Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras. A short boat ride away, you will find spur/canyon configurations, coral gardens, ledges, overhangs, caverns, and vertical fissures. Miles of reef leave scuba diving in Roatan uncrowded and many areas have yet to be explored by visitors. Large groupers and moray eels are a common sight. On any given dive around Roatan, one might see a hawksbill turtle or spotted eagle ray gracefully gliding by.
Roatan's reefs are so extensive that it would take months of daily scuba diving to see each known segment.

We have two dive facilities on the north side of Roatan at Palmetto Bay Plantation and Turquoise Bay Dive & Beach Resort. When diving with us, out of one of our two facilities in Roatan, you will enjoy the very individual and personal service that only small dive shops can offer. We specialize in tailored scuba diving meeting each particular group’s needs and requests and a PADI divemaster guides all dives. We do multilevel dive profiles with one hour dive time. We are capable of handling a maximum of 15 divers in Palmetto Bay and up to 25 divers in Turquoise Bay, which we take out in small groups of 6 to 12 per boat. At both shops the dive boats leave daily at 8:45 am, 11 am and 2 pm. We usually do one night dive per week in Turquoise Bay.

When we go to some of the further dive sites we do a two tank dive in the morning and one tank in the afternoon. We are one of two dive operators on Roatan, that offer day trips to remote places like Morat, Barbaretta, Utila, the Sea Mounts and Cayos Cochinos.

 

 

We keep a boat on the South Side to dive Mary's Place Roatan's most famous dive site and to be able to take you diving 365 days a year. If one side of the island is rough we can always take you out on the opposite side.

We support the Roatan Marine ParkNote from the Roatan Marine Park:

Dear visitor please help us protect Roatan's most valuable recourse the coral reef. When snorkeling or scuba diving please do not touch or step on the coral as this will kill it and do not remove anything other than trash.
Do not buy shells and pieces of coral such as sea fans or jewelry made from black coral, tortoise shell etc. Even though these items are widely available from street vendors it is illegal.
Locals will harvest anything just to make a little cash today disregarding the sustainability of their livelihood for the future.
