Roatan lies not only on the world's second largest Barrier Reef, but also along the Cayman Trench: the Caribbean’s deepest waters. This unique position has made it a Mecca for
underwater naturalists and dive enthusiasts. In fact, Roatan's position in the Caribbean has been the defining element in it's strange growth,
and for the many diverse groups of people who have called it home over the last five centuries.
