Spotted Bay

Spotted Bay on Roatán’s north side is one of those sites we always enjoy, particularly on a calm day. It’s got a mellow vibe and an interesting topography that keeps us looking. The dive starts in a sandy patch, then leads to a soft wall, not a sheer drop, more of a gradual slope down to 21 meters. We often see nurse sharks just cruising the bottom here, and it's a good place to spot a Chain Moray tucked into a crevice. But the real show begins when you get away from the main wall. Push out a bit further and you hit a second, more pronounced wall. This is where we’ve had some cracking encounters – the Kuna Goby is common, and we've even seen an Orca once, though that's definitely not a regular occurrence! Keep an eye out for Slender Filefish hovering near the corals, and the vibrant flash of a Yellowhead Wrasse. Visibility here tends to average 21 meters, which makes the hunt for smaller life easier. It’s a great choice for divers who enjoy a relaxed pace and appreciate finding the smaller, more unusual critters, especially if you’re comfortable exploring a bit beyond the obvious.
