Willy’s Hole

Willy’s Hole, tucked away near Turtle Harbor, delivers a proper dose of that classic Roatán wall diving we keep coming back for. We love the swim-through at 24 metres, it’s less a deep cavern and more a dramatic archway carved into the reef. The light filters through from both ends, creating a really cool effect, especially if you catch it when the sun’s a bit lower. On the reef top, around 10-15 metres, you’ll find the usual busy scene – schools of bluestriped grunts often hang out, and we’ve spotted redlip blennies darting between the corals. It’s a great spot for those who appreciate a bit of overhead environment without needing cave certification. Keep an eye out for greenband gobies on the sponges, they’re tiny but everywhere if you look closely. Visibility averages around 13 metres, which is decent enough to appreciate the scale of the wall. We’d suggest going in the morning before any afternoon chop picks up. While you might see a lionfish or two, the main draw here is the structure itself and the smaller reef inhabitants. It’s a comfortable dive for advanced open water divers looking for something a little different from a straight wall.
