    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Eagle Ray Alley, off Roatán, consistently delivers on its name. We often drift along the wall, keeping an eye out for the resident eagle rays gliding by, sometimes in groups. It's a relaxed dive, mostly a gentle current, making it suitable for divers comfortable with drift profiles. Look for nurse sharks tucked under ledges and plenty of schooling snapper.
