Underwater Photos in Roatan, Honduras

Filed Under Travel & Photos |

Surrounded by the world’s second largest coral reef, Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras offers some of the world’s best scuba diving and abundant marine life. It’s this reef system that provides calm, clear waters for divers, along with tranquil beaches for swimming and snorkeling.

The island’s friendly, “laid back” atmosphere is an ideal setting for enjoying great meals & drinks at the many fine restaurants & bars, or just relaxing on the beautiful beaches. Then once having adjusted to a more leisurely pace, take time to check out the wonderful culture and many local attractions.

These photos, the first of a banded coral shrimp, and the second, an orange icing sponge, were provided courtesy of Bob Millsap. You can find full-size images and many more photos on his Roatan.ws site along with a wealth of information on accommodations, activities, and a lot more about the island and its people.

Prospective visitors should note that most hotels, resorts, and vacation rentals, are a short walk to the beaches, and Roatan’s many dive operators assure convenient access to deeper waters. When not diving, visitors enjoy a place that’s distinctively less “touristy” than many Caribbean islands.

Roatan Honduras offers accommodations across a wide range of prices and amenities. Everyone from budget travelers to those demanding the very best can find exactly what they want from hotels, hostels, resorts, & lodges, to private homes, villas, & apartments.
