If your wondering why Honduras is in a section of a website dedicated to Caribbean Islands well our excuse is that it has a few Islands that offer great paradise settings and some of the worlds best value scuba diving. Honduras diving is centred on both the islands of Roatan and Utila. There are daily ferries usually twice per day from the mainland port of La Ceiba.

Diving A rapidly developing Marine Park is helping to protect the reef that surrounds the main touristic island of Roatan. Dives can cost as little as 20 USD per tank based on buying a package of 10. Utila always costs a bit less than Roatan in everything and the island has regular power cuts. Utila feels much more backpacker like but doesn't have the beaches or diversity of attractions that Roatan has to offer. The diving is comparable between both but Utila is famed for the largest fish in the ocean the Whale Shark.

Roatan
The diving is often drifts along walls but the diversity of topography allows the visitor to dive canyons such as Canyon Reef, shallow  channels like blue channel or weird coloured water - spooky channel, deep chute called hole in the wall and there are a few wrecks too like the prince albert !
One of the nice things apart from the price about dives in Roatan is that while not normally close enough for shore diving the boat trips are short 5 mins is typical. Diving started here in the west end but is moving around the island as development continues around the Island.
