Over Heat

Over Heat, a funny name for a site we really appreciate, sits on Roatán’s south side, a spot we often find ourselves drifting through. It’s a channel, really, less a dramatic wall and more a gentle slope of coral that keeps giving. We’re talking about a maximum depth around 20 metres, perfect for long bottom times and really soaking it all in. We love Over Heat for its consistent, relaxed vibe. It rarely throws anything too challenging our way, but don’t mistake "relaxed" for "boring." This place really comes alive when there’s a mild current pushing through. We like to drop in and just let the water do the work, watching for the resident turtles that often cruise by. The creole wrasse here are usually in thick schools, shimmering like a liquid curtain. If you’re lucky, you’ll spot Conklin's cardinalfish tucked into the nooks and crannies. Our favourite finds are often the smaller stuff though, the blennies and gobies. Keep an eye out for Banded Blennies bobbing their heads from empty worm tubes; they’re little characters. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace and an observant eye, great for photographers or anyone who just wants to unwind and take in the sheer volume of fish life.
