About this dive site

This dive site, known as Blue Cave, is located on the south side of Roatan, near its western point. It begins in shallow, clear waters close to a rocky shore, offering an easy start to the dive. The site is characterized by a prominent and safe cave that is accessible and enjoyable for almost all divers, allowing for an exciting exploration of its unique rock formations and underwater topography.

Divers visiting Blue Cave can expect to encounter a variety of marine life. Barracuda are frequently spotted and easy to find, adding to the thrill of the dive. Common inhabitants also include groupers and several species of turtles, which gracefully navigate the clear waters and reef structures.

The clear, shallow waters make this site ideal for visiting almost year-round, with generally good conditions in Roatan. It is particularly suitable for beginner divers and freedivers due to its manageable depths and the non-challenging nature of the cave. Snorkelers will also find the site rewarding, with plenty of marine life visible from the surface.
