The world’s second longest barrier reef system lies just off Roatan’s shores, giving divers some of the best diving in the Caribbean
Located about 30 miles north of the Honduran mainland, this divers’ dream destination is encircled by a living coral reef, extending directly from the shore. The shallow-water, reef eco-system is teeming with tropical marine life, making the underwater pageantry easily accessible to snorkelers and novice divers
The Bay Islands are located off the northern coast of Honduras, in the western Caribbean and form the southern-most portion of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System (MBRS). The MBRS, also simply known as the Mesoamerican reef, stretches from the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula down to the Bay Islands of Honduras and includes the Belize Barrier Reef. The reef structure is the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second largest coral reef.
