Chloes Coral - Roatán

Good Heart on the east side of Gili Trawangan is one of those sites we always try to hit, especially if we’re looking for a relaxed afternoon dive. It kicks off as a gentle slope, perfect for easing into things, then gradually dips into a proper wall that bottoms out around 18 metres. We love drifting along here, keeping an eye out for the big schools of fusiliers and surgeonfish that often cruise past – sometimes so thick they practically block out the sun. You'll spot plenty of green sea turtles munching on the seagrass higher up the slope, and we’ve had some great encounters with blue-spotted stingrays tucked into sandy patches. Keep your eyes peeled in the crevices of the wall for smaller stuff, like the little seastar shrimps. It’s a pretty forgiving site, good visibility most days, and the current is usually quite mild, making it a solid choice for newer divers or anyone just wanting an easy, pleasant dive without too much fuss.
