Deja Vu - Roatán

Hunga is one of those spots where you really feel like you’re diving in the open ocean. It's a proper pinnacle, rising from the depths, covered in sponges and hard corals. We've found the best time to hit it is on a low tide drift. The current can pick up, so be ready for that; it's what brings in the bigger stuff. Our favourite part about Hunga is the sheer density of life clinging to that pinnacle. Expect to see schools of fusiliers and snapper so thick they almost block the light. Keep an eye out for turtles cruising by, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot a majestic sperm whale in the deeper blue. The visibility often hovers around 13 metres, giving it a slightly mysterious feel, which we actually love. It's a fantastic drift dive for those comfortable with a bit of current and keen to see healthy reef structure with plenty of fish action.
