Honeycomb Caves

Honeycomb Caves, on Roatán’s south side, is one of those dives that starts with a bit of a grunt. The entry can be rocky, and you’ll likely feel some surge pushing you around until you clear the shallows. But push through that, because what lies beneath is genuinely special. We love the feeling of slipping into those cuts and caverns; it’s not really a deep dive, maxing out at 14m, but the way the light filters through the openings is something else. Inside, the caves are home to some surprisingly delicate life. Look closely for the smaller stuff – we’ve spotted Robertson's Blennies peeking out of crevices and even the occasional Mouse Cone working its way along the rock. The walls are encrusted with sponges and corals, a nice contrast to the more open reef. Our favourite part has to be finning slowly through the various chambers, watching for Longspine Squirrelfish tucked into the shadows. Visibility averages a comfortable 20m, which helps when you’re navigating the turns. This dive really suits those who appreciate a good macro hunt and don't mind a slightly challenging entry for the reward of exploring unique topography.
