Anka s Place - Roatán

Anka’s Place is a decent drift dive, often with a steady current pushing you along the wall. We typically see a good mix of Caribbean reef fish here, parrotfish grazing the corals and the occasional eagle ray gliding past in the blue. It’s a good choice for divers comfortable with current, offering a relaxed way to cover a lot of reef without much effort.
