Dive sites

Mary's Place

10–30m

Roatán's signature dive site — a dramatic volcanic crevice/canyon system with narrow swim-through fissures, walls encrusted with black coral, sea fans, and sponges. Advanced Open Water certification (or a completed Deep Adventure dive) is genuinely required, given the buoyancy control the fissures demand. Day boat from West End, no liveaboard.

West End Wall

10–25m

A wall/drift dive near West End, past Mandy's Eel Garden, with side canyons and sand falls; multi-directional currents bring varied fish life. Frequently visited by spotted eagle rays and southern stingrays. Depth figures vary by source (reports range roughly 10-25m+ along the wall face) — no single authoritative maximum was found. Day boat, no liveaboard.
