Dive sites around the West End of Roatan
Roatan enjoys a wide variety of interesting dive sites suitable for all divers from novices up to advanced. With over 40 sites to choose from in the West End area of the island alone, this guide highlights just a few of our favourite sites and will hopefully give you a taste of what to expect from the diving on Roatan.
Each site description includes information on depth range, what you can expect to see down there and the level of the dive - novice, intermediate or advanced. To make things simple we have broken the sites down into different categories. Simply click on the links below to learn about the sites. If you would like to see what the reef looks like from space before you explore our dive sites then why not take a look at some satellite images of the western side of the island.
At Reef Gliders we want you to get the most from your diving experiences. If there is a particular site that you would like to visit please let us know and we will do our very best to make it happen. Unlike many dive shops we always try and give our divers a full hour underwater!

Do you love to see sharks? At this dive site you are GUARANTEED to see between 15-25 Caribbean grey reef sharks as they circle around you waiting to be fed. Unlike many shark feed dives around the world you actually get to swim with the sharks here, rather than just sitting on the sand and watching from a distance. Watch the video and see divers getting up close and personal with these awesome creatures!

Watch a video of these amazing creatures as they "fly" through the sea! Eagle rays are sighted on a frequent basis, particularly at sites with sandy bottoms. We see eagle rays feeding on the sandy bottom at dive sites such as Deep and Shallow Seaquest, Herbies Fantasy and Mandy's Eel Garden.

Fish Den dive site is a beautiful area just a few minutes from the shop. Schools of fish congregate near the mooring and there is a good chance of spotting an eagle ray cruising by.

The Odyessy is a 300ft freighter deliberately sunk in 2002. Sitting at 30m it is still a "new" wreck so fishlife is relatively scarce at the present time. However, the sheer size of this wreck is sure to leave you amazed!
Why not take a combined Wreck and Nitrox speciality to give yourself the opportunity to explore this awesome wreck at your leisure?
