This dive site, Infinity Bay House Reef, is located just off the popular West Bay area in Roatan, Honduras. It serves as an excellent introduction to the diverse underwater world of the Caribbean, particularly suited for beginners and snorkelers. The site features an inner reef plateau that gently slopes, making navigation straightforward. A short swim leads to an outer wall, offering different depths and topography. While specific historical events for this particular house reef are not widely documented, its development is tied to the growth of dive tourism around Infinity Bay Resort.
The inner plateau is a thriving habitat where divers can easily spot eagle rays and stingrays gracefully gliding. Closer inspection reveals smaller fascinating creatures such as pipefish, and both conger and moray eels are frequently encountered hiding in the coral formations. The reef system supports a variety of colorful reef fish and vibrant hard and soft corals typical of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.
The best time to visit this dive site, like most of Roatan, is generally during the dry season from February to September, offering excellent visibility and calm conditions. Its shallow nature makes it perfect for extended bottom times and ideal for photography practice. Freedivers will appreciate the accessible depths and abundant marine life near the surface. It's a superb spot for getting comfortable in the water before exploring deeper, more challenging sites.
