Why dive here
With 168+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - Little Bight offers some of Roatán's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Little Bight often gets overlooked, but we find it a dependable spot for a relaxed dive. The wall here isn't as dramatic as some, but it’s still healthy, with plenty of brain and barrel sponges. Keep an eye out for green morays tucked into crevices and southern stingrays cruising the sand flats. It’s a good easy dive, especially if you’re looking for a second or third tank, or if you’re a newer diver.
