White Hole

White Hole is one of our favourites in Roatán, a seriously underrated spot tucked away from the usual crowds. You’ll find it west of Sandy Bay, not far from Dragon Maze, though the buoy sometimes goes rogue. We’ve always found it best as a night dive, the navigation is so straightforward with that clear sandy patch at 12 metres, and it just transforms after sunset. During the day, it's a lovely, gentle drift along a wall that drops beyond 30 metres, with the sand flat creating a natural boundary. We love hunting for the Banded Jawfish here, they’re usually popping their heads out of burrows in the sand, and we’ve often spotted Mottled Conger Morays snaking across the bottom. But at night, that’s when White Hole really shines. The Blackcap Basslets come out, those tiny purple flashes against the coral, and the Chalk Bass are everywhere. We’ve seen juvenile Yellow Jacks schooling, their silver scales catching the light from our torches, and often a big Southern Stingray glides over the sand, heading into the deeper blue. It’s an easy dive, good for anyone comfortable navigating by torchlight, and it consistently delivers unexpected encounters. Just remember to bring your own light and keep an eye out for those delicate Island Frillfins perched on the gorgonians.
