Dive Information

The palapa at the end of the 160 dock is the perfect space for relaxing, with its hammocks, benches and freshwater shower. Its also the jump-off point to the house reef. The house reef is only accessible for resort guests. The water surrounding the dock is the ideal spot for snorkeling as well as for a shallow dive (maximum depth 20), particularly if doing underwater photography, working on buoyancy exercises, or a night dive. The house reef is also one of the dive training areas, and a training area to obtain a lionfish permit through the Roatan Marine Park. Here are the house reef features:

• Small sunken boat, an artificial habitat for marine life
• Underwater hoops for buoyancy practice
• Commonly sighted marine life on our house reef include: schools of squid, eagle rays, pufferfish, snappers, wrasses, damselfish, flounder, angelfish and butterflyfish
• Calm and protected inner reef, including healthy lettuce coral, flower coral and brain coral
• Reef propagation project
• May 2015 addition of a VW van as another artificial habitat for marine life
