Best Scuba Dive Sites Roatan Near Roatan Resorts

HONDURAS, United States MO Islands - May 17, 2018 - PRLog -- With the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the world's second largest reef system, just offshore, the sealife viewing opportunities for divers are incredible.  If you're an experienced diver or you're looking to learn, Roatan offers some of the lowest diving prices anywhere in the world. For those ready to take the plunge, here's a list of some of the best dive sites off Roatan.

El Aguila

El Aguila is an intentionally sunken cargo ship that rests under 100 feet of water.  It's been there for over 20 years and as such, plays host to a thick bed of coral and plenty of fish including grouper, eels, parrotfish and more.  The ship has come apart into three sections which allows for exploration of some of the wreck's inner spaces without the need for wreck diving certification.

Mandy's Eel Garden

Close to the Roatan resorts in West Bay, Mandy's Eel Garden is just offshore, easily accessible and shallow which makes it a perfect dive spot for beginners.  As the name suggests, several species of eel call the area home. Mandy's Eel Garden is also known for frequent sightings of octopi, turtles, rays and barracuda.  Because the water's are so shallow, the coral beds are some of the brightest and most colourful anywhere in Roatan.

The Odyssey

The Odyssey is another intentionally sunken wreck.  At over 300 feet long it is the biggest shipwreck around Roatan and one of the largest in the entire Caribbean.  The wreck is still intact and therefore requires wreck diving certification, however there are holes cut into the side of the ship to allow experienced divers to enter.

Mary's Place

Mary's Place is one of the most popular diving spots off Roatan.  The abundant sea life, large coral fans and massive fields of sponges make the site attractive to divers of all skill levels.  The sandy bottom goes down to 200 feet and provides great visuals.
