Diving at Palmetto Bay Plantation Roatan

Why Dive Roatan?

The island of Roatan is approxiamately 30 miles long and about two miles wide and is actually the top of an underwater mountain range called the Bonacca Ridge. The ridge includes the other Bay Islands, Utila and Guanaja, and the many smaller keys and islands nearby.

Roatan is surrounded on all sides by a living coral reef containing nearly every species of coral growing in the Caribbean Sea, including several species of rare black coral, and sponges of all colors and shapes. The reef is home to seahorses, queen angel fish, stoplight parrot fish, blue tangs, and fairy basslets, slopes gently from shore providing excellent snorkeling and diving from nearly any point on the island. The reef stretches out to sea then drops off. Roatan is famous for its wall dives, many crevices, chimneys, and caves that decorate the reef creating an impressive and varied topography.

Water visibility is usually over 100ft and the temperature in the 80's.
