Diving in Roatan

We spent 7 days in Roatan. I was pretty much sick about 5 of those days… with the flu. But I finally got well enough a couple of days before we left to get some diving in. The diving was great. Water was warm enough for my 3MM shorty and there was not much of a current. No rain, no lighting. It was ideal.
I dived with the dive company located at the Henry Morgan hotel. TGI diving. Although they primarily employed and catered to an Italian group of divers… English was spoken by all of them. I would not necessarily suggest one gets their certification there… but for an experienced diver it was great.
The water clarity was nice and the coral was the main attraction on both of my dives. The brain coral was huge and the colors were amazing. I didn’t see much large sea life (no large ray, eels, turtles, or shark). The fish were mainly small and colorful.
Next time we go, I will defintely make an extra trip to Utilla where I hear the whale sharks are. All-in-all I would say Roatan is up there on my list of dive spots … but Belize is still at the top.







My husband, two kids, and I just got back from a wonderful and relaxing (adventurous) vacation on one of the “top 10 beaches in the world”. Roatan Honduras is a beautiful tropical island off the east coast of Honduras. Since we live in Houston, getting there was very easy … Continental Airlines flies there directly.
