Why dive here
With 168+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - Honduras Diving: Roatan and Utila Bay Islands offers some of Roatán's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Roatán and Utila offer some really solid diving, particularly for those who appreciate a good drift. We’ve had some fantastic encounters here, especially during whale shark season where those gentle giants cruise the blue. Beyond that, the reefs themselves are healthy, full of turtles gliding past, and we’ve often spotted dolphins playing in the distance. You'll find a nice mix of walls and wrecks, plus some interesting caverns if you’re into that, making it a good pick for both newer divers finding their fins and more experienced folks looking for some consistent action.
