The Caribbean sun slides across a turquoise surface as a local divemaster briefs two divers at a quiet pier on Roatán. Below, the Mesoamerican Reef waits—fingers of coral and slow-moving parrotfish drifting through columns of blue. This private, one-tank dive places you at either the island’s sheltered north or the richer coral slopes of the south, depending on conditions, with an experienced guide handling navigation and local marine knowledge.
