The verdant jungle islands of Roatan, Guanaja , Utila and a jeweled patchwork of smaller islands & cays are known as The Bay Islands of Honduras. Located 35 miles north of Honduras' Mainland, they are tucked away from the mainstream, and remain today as some of the Caribbean's most beautiful, pristine and tranquil islands. This exotic archipelago is a divers paradise, boasting clear waters and unspoiled reefs that are among the healthiest in the Caribbean. These virgin reefs teem with a myriad of unique reef creatures and 95% of all species of the Caribbean's coral can be found in these alluring waters. The Bay Islands are located at the southern tip of the longest Barrier Reef in the Western Hemisphere, which extends north to the coast of Belize. The dramatic combination of reef and the islands volcanic origin, form a spectacular underwater landscape. Pinnacles, ledges, underwater canyons, tunnels and caves are prevalent in these waters. Massive drop-offs and undercuts begin in less than 10 ft of water and drop down to endless depths. Huge gorgonians and sponges cling to sheer canyon walls providing a rich & dramatic scenery. There is definitely something of interest here for every level of diver. |
