Stingray Point - Roatán

Uri sits just inside the "lake" entrance between Waigeo and Gam, a spot we stumbled upon ourselves during an exploratory trip. It’s a shallow site, topping out at 18 meters, with a gentle coral slope. Expect to spend your dive moving slowly, searching for the smaller things. We often find frogfish here, several pipefish species, and a surprising variety of macro life like the tiny Wasp Pygmy Goby. Visibility averages around 10 meters, so it’s not about grand vistas, but rather the intimate details of the reef. If you enjoy patient critter hunting, Uri will keep you busy.
