Roatan is known for its diving, attracting over one million visitors each year. Turquoise Bay Resort is the only resort on the island that is secluded and private, making diving a personalized experience.

Some dive sites are as deep as one hundred thirty feet, offering a huge range of marine critters to see.
Guests can embark on different adventures including 2-tank scuba dives, cruise ship excursions, horseback riding on the beach, massages, and zipline tours. The resort’s restaurant offers an amazing culinary exploration of authentic Caribbean and Latin American foods. Guests start the day with a breakfast of eggs, rice, refried beans, fried plantains, and grilled pork or steak. The lunch menu offers of fresh fish, pork or steak tacos, grilled chicken and rice, coleslaw, or steamed enchiladas. Guests can eat indoors or at the poolside with views of the ocean.

Dive sites include:
CoCo View Wall is located within swimming distance of CoCo View Resort, but is open to all divers. It plunges down about eighty-two feet (25 m) from the surface and is heavily encrusted with soft and hard corals.
Mary’s Place, considered by many to be the best dive on the island, is a series of deep coral canyons, teeming with macro life. Unfortunately, every diver has heard about Mary’s Place, which means it can feel like there’s a lineup of dive groups waiting to splash in.
Dolphin’s Den, on the north side of the island, abounds with coral canyons similar to those at Mary’s Place, and far less crowded. They are lush with hard and soft corals and teeming with small reef life, tiny cleaner shrimp playing among the anemones. These reefs are some of the best canyons around Roatan, between fifty and seventy feet deep and honeycombed with tunnels leading from one canyon to the next.
Fish Den, the marine park on the west side of the island encompasses 8 miles (13 km) of coastline from the high-water mark to about one hundred eighty feet deep. Patrols here enforce strictly limited fishing activities, which means the sea life is abundant. The park maintains about sixty mooring sites for dive boats, so the coral hasn’t been damaged by anchors. Fish Den is a shallow dive; most of the best stuff is in the first twenty feet.
The El Aguila wreck lies at about one hundred eight feet (33 m), is located on the west side, and is on the deeper end for some recreational divers. Divers only have a few minutes of bottom time, but there’s a way to make this dive a lot longer. The wreck sits beside a superb coral wall, so divers can pop down, do a leisurely swim of the length of the wreck, max out bottom time and then head for the wall.
