Lighthouse

Lighthouse gets a lot of traffic, often used for training, but don't let that put you off. We actually love it as a warm-up dive. Dropping to around 19m, it’s a calm introduction to Roatán diving, especially if you’re still getting your fins under you. The big sand patches at 5-6m are perfect for new divers, but they’re also where we find some of our favourite smaller critters. Keep your eyes peeled for those Mimic Blennies and Filament Blennies darting in and out of the sand, or a well-camouflaged Lined Sole. The reef itself is healthy, a mix of coral heads and sandy areas, creating little pockets for juvenile fish. We’ve spotted Apricot Bass tucked away in crevices and watched Yellow Jacks cruise by. Visibility usually hovers around 21m, giving you a clear view of the reef's activity. It’s not the roaring current, big animal thrill Roatán is known for, but Lighthouse delivers a steady, satisfying dive, especially good for photographers keen on macro life without fighting a surge. Go early to beat the crowds and enjoy the quiet.
