Dive bases and accommodations on Roatán
On Roatán, dive bases usually take you by boat to sites at a fixed buoy. In West End, boats leave several times a day, and the western end of the island offers little current and shelter from the prevailing wind, according to West End Divers. At West Bay Beach, the reef begins just a few steps from the shore. From the shore, you can also dive at the house reefs of several resorts, and at CoCo View on the south coast, you can dive year-round to the Prince Albert wreck. The waters around the Bay Islands have been a marine national park since 2010, where Roatán Marine Park rangers patrol by boat.
This booklet lets you choose a dive base and accommodation together. It compares the dive bases and the corresponding hotels, which base and house reef belong to each hotel, and how far the walk to the boat is. For each accommodation, it states whether there is a place to rinse and dry your equipment and whether an early breakfast is available. For non-diving days, the booklet lists restaurants and excursions, each with a link to its location on the map.
You will receive an A5-format PDF that you can read on your phone or tablet while on the go and print out as a booklet at home.
