    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Moon Hole is a deep swim-through in Roatán, opening into a large underwater cavern. Inside, we often find nurse sharks resting on the sandy bottom, alongside schools of glassy sweepers darting through the light shafts. This site is best for experienced divers comfortable with overhead environments and good buoyancy control. Strong currents can be present at the entrance.
