West End Wall (40 – 120 feet)

West End Wall is at the very western tip of the island of Roatan, where the currents running along both sides re-converge. There are pristine wall of corals and fish life almost unmatched on the island. The down side of course is that the currents converge here and on occasion can be quite strong. A flexible dive plan is important here, but the extra effort is worth the work.

Black Rock 60 Feet (25 – 100 feet)

Located at the far end of West Bay Beach, this vertical wall goes from fifteen feet down to about one hundred where it starts to slope gently out to the abyss. There are a variety of swim through's and surge channels, as well as some nice block coral formations in the depths, but the real attraction is the pristine reef in the fifteen to sixty range making this site one of the best shallow dives around.

Mandy’s Eel Garden 80 Feet (20 – 80 feet)

Garden eels seam to like large colonies. Mandy's Eel Garden has a wide sand bottomed area in twenty feet, some wonderful shallow reef and more sand again in fifty feet sloping towards the abyss. The eel population starts around fifty five feet. Be careful sneaking up on them. They are timid and disappear at the first sign of threat. The remainder of the dive is spent cursing along the wall towards Black Rock, ending over shallow stag horn coral at fifteen to twenty feet. Lots of off gas time and some wonderful fish watching opportunities. Watch the shallow sandy area for flounder and southern sting rays.

Herbies Fantasy 60 Feet (40 – 90 feet)

Fabulous short wall dive featuring coral heads the size of, well, Herby the love bug. The base of the wall starts around sixty feet, between there and the ninety range are some marvellous coral formations harbouring every type of sea life imaginable. The inner reef and the way back to the mooring offers a few sandy patches that occasionally harbour rays flounders and Nurse Sharks. Lots to see, and more variety than most dives, but the top of the reef is fifty feet down so there isn't much off gassing happening. Computer divers tend to run out of NDL in about fifty minutes.

Turtle Crossing 60 Feet (40 – 150 feet)

Similar to Herbie's reef but different enough to be exciting. The bottom is thirty some odd feet below the boat, the wall a few dozen fin kicks away. Turtle Crossing is inexplicable one of the best sites to see turtles at. Approach them slowly and without sudden movement or noise and you should get to spend several minutes enjoying a marvellous natural experience. As a word of caution, a stressed turtle will drop to the bottom and wedge itself into a coral crack until the danger has passed. These beautiful and rare animals can suffocate if harassed. Please be careful

Sea Quest 40 Feet (20 – 45 feet)

Sea Quest is a shallow bowl of sand 100 feet in diameter, with surge cannels leading out to a second level of reef forty-five feet deep. From the mooring out is a wonderful hatchery of juvenile fish, while the deeper step offers choice coral heads, and access to a third section of reef adjoining the deep wall.

The Bite 50 Feet (20 – 60 feet)

This mooring is located well in from the deep wall. In fact form the sandy bottom you are looking up at the fringing coral. The sand is refuge to conch and flounder and a resident moray will sometimes stop by for a visit. Heading from the sand towards the deep wall you will travel through a trench and past some of the finest examples of barrel sponge around.

Blue Channel 60 Feet (30 – 45 feet)

Blue channel is a dive between the inner and outer reefs. Lobsters and shrimp abound as you swim through the channels. On this dive can you start to appreciate the difference in marine life stratification by depth and protection. The natural tunnels and channels are awe inspiring and the sand patch at the end harbours many species you will never see on a wall.

Light House Reef Deep 110 Feet (20 – 140 feet)

Lighthouse is an unlisted site on the dive map, primarily due to it's being a designated training site. The football sized sandy patch at the mooring just outside the Seuño del Mar channel marker does indeed make a fine training site. Follow the surge channels out to the deep wall however and you will discover a stunning wall dive, with the sand bottom starting at around 120 feet. Large sponge, black coral and lots of critters make this an enjoyable site.

Dixies Place 70 Feet (30 – 150 feet)

The top of the wall is a panicle at forty feet. Lots of anemones in the area directly around the mooring. The wall drops vertically to about one thirty and features large barrel sponge and black coral.

Half Moon Bay Wall 60 Feet (40 – 160 feet)

Located off Half Moon Bay, this wall dive is spectacular in the shear drop of the coral wall into the one thirty range. It is little wonder at all that the Bay Island Aggressor ties up here every week as the wall can be done repetitively at different depths, each dive offering something new. At sixty to seventy feet there are large black coral branches reaching out from the wall. Spotted Eagle Rays are frequently seen here as well.

Dive Masters Choice 60 Feet (40 – 130 feet)

No really, that is the name of the site next to Half Moon Bay Wall. It may have gotten that name because its close to home (Back quick and home for an early dinner) but it is also a very pretty dive site. The top of the wall is at forty feet. The wall drops vertically to about one thirty and features large barrel sponge and black coral. The shallow reef is a fine example of plate coral, surge channels and has some sandy patches where you may spot rays and flounder

Hole in the Wall * 120 Feet (30 – 200 feet) Advanced

This amazing drop through a surge tunnel, exits the reef at 120 feet leaving you over a hole looking into the abyss. The Blue Hole itself starts around 160 feet and drops away with no apparent bottom. After a few minutes of awe looking into the abyss, the dive turns and climbs slowly through a long partially covered channel back to the top of the reef. Shrimp and Lobster abound. As if that weren't enough, a huge cavern in the shallows will defiantly spark your sense of adventure.

Canyon Reef * 60 Feet (25 – 120 feet) Advanced

There are ten to twelve surge channels leading back and forth through the reef. The first four are open, and the next four with partial and full covered. Surge can be strong and depths range from seventy to fifteen feet and back again, making it challenging on ears but a rewarding dive. Nudibranchs, pipefish, crabs and shrimp are common. This dive was rated as one of the top Four in the Bay Islands

Fish Den 70 Feet (30 – 140 feet)

Fish's Den is a shallow dive along the top of a very deep wall. Surge channels and swim throughs abound, several leading into sand bottomed holes that provide shelter to our aquatic friends from the currents. Pillar coral is bountiful here.

Gibson's Bight 70 Feet (25 – 100 feet)

Very nice wall dive. Lots of swim throughs. Visibility can be challenging on this site on an outgoing tide, or after a hard rain. But as always with bad visibility comes plentiful nutrients and lots of fish.

Melissa's Reef 70 Feet (15 – 110 feet)

This dive starts off over a shallow table reef, approximately eighteen feet deep. After a short drop through a surge channel and a decent to the diving depth, you cruse along at 70 feet, wind upwards through a narrow furrow and return to the mooring along the reefs crest. Off gassing and fish watching on top of this shallow table is an outstanding experience

Overheat Reef 90 Feet (25 – 140 feet)

A truly awesome wall dive. A pinnacle island of coral fifty feet from the main wall with its top in 90 feet of water. It features some pristine plate and black coral making the depth worth the trip. The shallow reef on the return to the boat is shallow, offering several swim through options and is a great spotting site for turtles and spotted eagle rays.

Green Outhouse 70 Feet (40 – 160 feet)

The Outhouse that used to guide divers to the site is long gone. The site however remains an excellent wall dive. Watch for cleaning stations and lobster along the wall.

Pillar Coral 90 Feet (15 – 120 feet)

The termination of several deep surge channels along this section of wall gives it the impression of a ancient pillared façade.(Or maybe that's just the narcosis) There is abundant pillar coral around as well and all in all this is a wonderful dive site. The majority of the deep is along a deep wall, returning to the boat on top of the wall in twenty feet of water. Excellent fish spotting opportunity.

El Aquila * 110 Feet (20 – 120 feet) Advanced

The El Aquila was purchased as a derelict and moved from Utila to be sunk in its current location in 1985. Though battered and broken by hurricane Mitch (pause and think about that) the Aguila sits on the sandy bottom in 110 feet of blue water into three pieces. The wreck offers some great swim throughs and is usually surrounded by a very large groupers. Garden eels in the sand and a large resident moray make the wreck a very memorable dive. A few fin kicks up and over allow you to enjoy the shallow reef while you off gas for the remainder of the hour.

Peter's Place 80 Feet (25 – 140 feet)

An awesome Vertical wall dive. featuring some pristine plate corals making the depth worth the trip. The reef on the return to the boat is shallow, offering several swim through options and is a great spotting site for turtles and spotted eagle rays.

Bears Den * 70 Feet (20 – 90 feet) Advanced

While there is no actual bear, the cavern could accommodate several quite easily. Openings large enough to swim through with scuba gear and room to spare, lead into a massive cavern illuminated from above through a handful of small chimneys in the coral. The dancing light is simply magical. This dive is typically done on a seventy foot profile so that a small swim through can be explored below the mooring on the way out to the wall. Once you have been through the cavern, the balance of your bottom time can be spent exploring shallow reef

Spooky Channel * 90 Feet (20 – 120 feet) Advanced

Spooky Channel is the Mount Everest of surge channel swim throughs. You're almost tempted to do this dive on your back so you can watch the ceiling close in over the gaping chasm as you swim up and in. Large grouper hang out inside, and will follow you through to the shallows and back out again, via a smaller but no less grandiose chamber. This dive was rated by Rodale's as one of the top four in the Bay Islands. As a cautionary note, it is a surge channel and currents can get rough. Visibility on an outgoing current is usually very bad. 40 to 60 foot visibility is not uncommon.
