Roatan

Roatan is one of the best places to scuba dive in the Caribbean and is only a 2.5-hour flight away from home. It’s part of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. It’s in fact the largest of the three islands.

Roatan is a divers’ paradise. Fantastic dive sites minutes away from the dock, clear and warm water, amazing nature, and beautiful beaches.

Scuba diving in Honduras means diving at the southern part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere, and the second-largest reef in the world (only the Great Barrier Reef in Australia is bigger!). Yep, it’s actually the same beautiful reef system that runs through Belize and Mexico.

The Roatan reef system is extremely healthy thanks to the Roatan Marine Park, which is leading the conservation efforts of Honduras’ marine and coastal ecosystems – one of the main reasons why diving in Honduras is so wonderful.

Diving is great on any of the Honduras Bay Islands, but the best Honduras diving is on Roatan, the largest and most well-developed of the three. From shipwrecks to coral gardens to sand flats and shark dives, Roatan diving has so much to offer.
