Texas (The Point)

If you’re looking for a drift dive that delivers, Texas is it. We often find ourselves kicking things off closer to the Salt Life Point buoy, letting the current do the heavy lifting as we sweep towards Texas itself. It’s an exercise in controlled surrender, just hanging back and watching the world go by. The site is off Roatán's westernmost tip, and those currents can be proper spirited. We've had dives here that felt like a sprint against the tide, but when it’s running right, it’s brilliant. The max depth of 22m means plenty of bottom time to really soak it in. You’ll drift past enormous barrel sponges, some of them ancient looking, and gorgonian fans waving rhythmically in the flow. We love spotting the schools of yellowtail snapper, a shimmering river of silver moving with us, and the Atlantic spadefish are almost always hanging around. Keep an eye out for grouper and snapper tucked into crevices. If the current is pushing you offshore, don’t fight it; just enjoy the ride into the blue. It's a proper Roatán experience, a real gamble on the current, but when it pays off, it’s one of the best.
