Cabañas

Cabañas feels like a well-kept secret, even though it’s just a short hop from Utopia Resort’s dock. We love it for a gentle drift, especially when the current picks up just enough to carry you along the wall. The maximum depth here is 21m, making it a comfortable multi-level dive where you can spend plenty of time soaking it all in. Down on the main reef, we've spotted some brilliant little critters – keep an eye out for Saddled Blennies peeking from crevices and the tiny, perfectly camouflaged Pygmy Filefish. This site also hosts one of Roatán’s coral nurseries, and it’s genuinely inspiring to see the staghorn coral flourishing. If you hover near the nursery, you might just catch a glimpse of the illusive Surge Clingfish or a shy Spaghetti Eel. It's a relaxed dive, perfect for photographers or anyone who enjoys taking their time to search out the smaller wonders. While we've not seen whale sharks here often, turtles and nurse sharks do make an appearance, gliding past in the blue. For a pleasant, easy drift with some genuine macro interest and healthy coral, Cabañas is a solid choice.
