    Peters Place might not be the flashiest name on Roatán’s dive map, but we've always found it delivers. The buoy drops you onto a relatively shallow reef at 12 metres, then sand channels lead you straight to the wall. It’s a gentle introduction before the main event: a vertical drop that lets you peer down into the blue without needing to go deep yourself. We particularly love the feeling of drifting along the wall, eyes scanning both the vibrant corals clinging to the edge and the open water for those bigger pelagics. We’ve seen eagle rays glide past here more times than we can count, often silhouetted against the bright surface. Look closely in the sand channels too, especially near the wall; the little Brown Garden Eels are always swaying, and if you have a good eye, you might spot a Warteye Stargazer buried, just its eyes peeking out. The site rarely feels rushed or crowded, making it a good choice for newer divers getting comfortable with wall diving, or for those who simply want a relaxed, beautiful drift. Max depth usually sits around 22 metres, making it a forgiving profile.
