Roatan Diving - Roatan Dive Shops Dive Sites and Resorts
Diving in Roatan is hard characterised since it has quite a diversity of topography; wrecks , walls, caves, pinacles, classic reef, sandy expanses, canyons, drift dives, shore dives and boat dives. It is famous for having an abundance of macro life while supporting some good pelagic species not least the whale shark though not a common occurance and whales from time to time. In short you can't say many negative things about the diving especially as that diving comes at a low price in global terms. You can stay 2 weeks and not get bored.
The visibilty is excellent year round and thanks to the Roatan Marine Park the reef is well looked after and certain species like lobster and turtles are being protected from llegal fishing practises.
