Blue Channel
★★★★★
(1,638)
Blue Channel dive is one of Roatan’s most famous snorkel sites, while at the same time a great dive site. Swim along a wide, shallow channel in the reef and into 20 minutes of tunnels. Finish the dive in the shallow swaying turtle grass.
Expect to discover fireworms, large feather dusters, and lobster along with moray eels. The swim-through makes for an interesting investigation. Home to pipefish and silversides as well.
