Dive Into the Unknown: Discover the Hidden Underwater Paradises That Will Revolutionize Your Next Adventure
Roatán Banks
Cayos Cochinos is within the UNESCO heritage section of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, but savvy scuba outfitters know the best diving is just before Cayos in the deep seamount of the Roatán Banks. We dropped down 40 feet and there seemed to be every type of coral and reef fish imaginable. Peering into azure barrel sponges, eyeing up green morays, and channel-clinging crabs in the crevices, examining the peculiar nudibranch, and having a reef shark whiz by us was a delight!
Any scuba driver will tell you that our oceans are warming and coral bleaching is happening worldwide, but when you come to a place like The Banks it gives you hope it’s not too late.
