Jonathan Clarkin scuba diving in Roatan best dive sites

The best dives sites in Roatan is – of course – a subjective list. Some divers love wrecks, others prefer shallow dives with lots of light and color. Some divers seek out little critters in the sand while others prefer drifting along a wall looking for big stuff in the deep. But for those of us who live and breathe (bubbles) in Roatan, these are the best dive sites around.

Posted in: All About Roatan

In case you haven’t already found her through the interwebs (copyright Cousin Laura), Rika from Cubicle Throwdown offers TONS of great info on all things diving and all things Roatan. She started a new series called Roatan Reviews to highlight local establishments and offer her honest opinions (read a few of her blogs, she’s blunt and straight-forward about everything so you know the review is legitimate). She recently came to my dive shop and, well, basically I feel like a rockstar after reading her review.

Here’s the thing about living in Roatan…you need to dive. Not like dive off of a dock and swim around. No. You can’t live on an island surrounded by part of the second largest barrier reef system on Earth without scuba diving.

Some of the dive sites along West End, West Bay, and Sandy Bay. The reef is so close I could throw something at it from my dock at Ocean Connections.
