Scuba Diving In The Bay Islands

The Bay Islands are a part of the world's second largest barrier reef system. They offer greatly diversified wall diving at each of the islands where the walls can start at fifteen, forty or even sixty feet. The reefs along these walls are abundant in stony corals and colorful sponges.  It is a fitting finale to this journey along the Great Maya Reef.

With just one glance of our crystal blue waters and teeming marine life you'll see why why Roatan is one of the premier dive spots in the world.  Endless diving opportunities are to be found including dolphin dives, walls, volcanic tunnels, shallows, whale shark encounters and a dazzeling soft corals and sponges.  The adventurous can explore canyons, ridges and stunning walls rich in marine life. Now a protected marine park, the waters around West End are home to dozens of exciting deep water dive sites.

Explore the sheer walls of Roatan including Eel's Garden, Port Royal, and the Enchanted Forest, all complete with enormous stands of black coral, brilliantly colored elephant ear sponges and delicate blue bell tunicates.

Guanaja and Utila are similar and because of there remote location and fewer accomodations and divers in the water it can be better diving.  One thing is for sure, the pace of life is tuned way down and your vacation here will be laid back and restful.

Off the Island of Guanaja there is the Jado Trader, a cargo boat deliberately sunk several years ago for divers, a 160 foot ship that rests in about 100 feet of water.  Home to numerous sea creatures.

The two main islands of Cayos Cochinos hold such rare jewels as fingerprint tongues, wrasse blennies, sailfin blennies, painted tunicates, and richly colored encrusting sponges.    While diving the area you could be joined by black tip sharks, eagle rays or turtles.
