Why dive here
With 168+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - Las Palmas offers some of Roatán's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Las Palmas offers a gentle dive, good for shaking off the rust or for newer divers. The wall here starts around 10 meters and drops gradually, with plenty of small crevices to peek into. We usually spot nurse sharks tucked away and a good number of reef fish, like grunts and snappers, hanging around the coral heads. It’s a solid, easy dive, comfortable for a relaxed afternoon.
