Are you going scuba diving soon? Make sure to go to the Caribbean!

Today in this video we are going to show you exactly where you can find some of the most incredible shipwrecks, inviting coral reefs, and diverse underwater species. All waiting for you near the island of Roatán!

Roatán is one of the islands of the Bay Islands, Honduras. It is a hidden paradise of diving in the Caribbean. During your stay in Roatán , you can dive on walls, plateaus, canyons, caves or wrecks.

The islands of Roatán and Utila both have an excellent reputation for scuba diving, that you will remember all of your life.
There are more than 150 dive sites around Roatán, not to mention the secret sites of local divers.

As for Utila, it is located near the second largest coral reef in the world, which gives rise to exciting and breath taking dives. In addition, Utila Island is on the migration path of whale sharks and some of them are permanent residents!

These are some of the best dive sites in the Bay Islands, Honduras

1. St. Mary’s Place - Roatán

On Roatán Island this scuba diving site is always described as spectacular. The reef crevice begins at a depth of only about 20 feet, then it extends down and ultimately forms impressive canyons.

2. El Aguila Wreck - Roatán

This 210-foot cargo boat, whose Spanish name means “the eagle”, is one of Roatán’s favorite wreck dives. Sunk to create an artificial reef in 1997, it now lies at 100 feet, broken into three parts, on a sandy bottom.

3. Dolphin Den – Roatán

This is an underwater labyrinth of canyons and tunnels starting at 15 feet below the surface of the water and ending at 40 feet. The network of tunnels and canyons transports divers from one end of the reef to the other.

4. Black Hills – Utila

Located at the southeast tip of the island, Black Hills is a seamount whose peak is 35 feet underwater and drops to 165 feet.

5. Halliburton – Utila

The Halliburton site consists of a 100 foot wreck that was sunk in 1998 to create an artificial reef.

6. Black Coral Wall - Utila

The deepest drop-off in the southern portion of the Bay Islands is well named, with black coral that can be seen from 26 feet deep.

7. Hole In The Wall - Roatán

Located outside of Mangrove bight, this is a "must dive" while you visit Roatán. This is a great dive for diving enthusiasts of all levels because there is something for everyone here. You start by descending into a huge crevasse from 33 feet and arrive at the “hole in the wall” at about 115-130 feet.

8. West End Wall - Roatán

A beautiful wall at the west tip of Roatán, just after West Bay. This is a beautiful drift where you drift along the wall for about 30 minutes at about 80-100 feet, hoping to see the eagle rays and enjoying the barracudas, groupers, lobsters and moray eels.

9. Texas - Roatán

Why the name Texas? Because everything is bigger! Texas is at the end of Roatán, on the other side of the tip. The conditions are different there, the current is frequent and with current comes bigger fish!

10. More Wrecks of Roatán

The Odyssey Wreck. This is the largest wreck of Roatán! This cargo ship was donated to Anthony’s Key Resort after a fire.

The Prince Albert Wreck. This was the first sunken boat for diving, a tanker from Nicaragua, on the run with refugees. The ship stayed for a long time in the port where it was stripped, then bought by the owners of Coco View. After a long cleaning, she was towed to be sunk, but she ran aground on the reef.
