Sandy 2nd’s - Lady Elliot Island

Ted's Point on Roatán's south side is one of those sites we always come back to. It's not the deepest dive, topping out around 21m, but what it lacks in depth it makes up for in detail. We love dropping onto the sandy bottom first, keeping an eye out for yellowhead jawfish darting in and out of their burrows. The real magic happens on the east wall, where the slope transitions into a vibrant canvas of tunicates and sponges. We’ve had some fantastic encounters here with free-swimming morays, especially when the current picks up a little, and it's a solid spot for spotting permits cruising by. Look closely among the younger brain corals for tiny gobies, like the Kuna and Smallmouth, they're everywhere once you get your eye in. This spot suits divers who appreciate a slow, observational dive, perfect for photographers or anyone keen on finding the smaller stuff. We'd suggest aiming for a mid-morning dive before boat traffic peaks, and keep an eye on the sand for stargazers – they're masters of disguise here.
