Dive Information

Dive Overview

Roatan and its world-renowned scuba diving attracted more than a million visitors last year. As far as Roatan resorts go, Turquoise Bay is the only dive resort in this lush and remote area of the island providing scuba divers and snorkelers with the opportunity to dive and snorkel uncrowded, pristine sites. The North side of Roatan offers scuba divers and snorkelers the unique opportunity to experience the largest variety of reef topography on the island. Roatan, in the Bay Islands of Honduras, is surrounded by the worlds second largest barrier reef that is one of the healthiest in the Caribbean due to the Roatan Marine Park and the local dive community encouraging conservative diving practices. Explore sloping plateaus perfect for spotting macro life, sheer walls with large soft corals and barrel sponges, wreck dives abundant with life, crevices, trenches, overhangs and cavern systems such as the two most popular dive sites Underground and Dolphins Den.

All of the scuba diving lessons and instructors are PADI qualified for your peace of mind.

Roatans water temperature ranges from 78 84 F with visibility consistent between 60-100 feet.

Turquoise Bay Resort's dive and snorkel boats leave daily at 8:45 am, 10:45 am and 2 pm. They offer one-night boat dive per week (more on request). They scuba dive and snorkel mainly on the north shore of Roatan in the area between Sandy Bay and Punta Gorda. The dive sites are close by so they come back to the dive shop for surface intervals. When going to some of the further dive sites, they do a two tank dive in the morning and one tank in the afternoon. They are the only dive operator diving on this part of Roatan which means you will not see other scuba divers during your dive and have private unspoiled dive sites.

All-Inclusive dive packages include three boat dives per day. Should the sea conditions not allow them to dive on the Roatan North shore they will take guests by bus to an alternate location on the South side of Roatan. When diving on the Southside, they are able to do two boat dives per day instead of three. This scenario may happen between December and March because of strong Northerly wind.
