'Scuba Diving in Roatan in 4K HDR' will show you what to expect from diving in Roatan based on our 1-week scuba diving trip in February 2022.

We stayed at Turquoise Bay Resort and dived with Subway Watersports. Both resort and the dive operation are good.

We are planning our Roatan trip as I am writing this so thank you for sharing! Which dive site was your favorite and how were the wreck and drift dives?

Thank you for your comments Panpangato, The wreck dive was okay, but nothing special. You probably will see a grouper and a crab. Corals were very healthy, but not very colourful. You may not see colors as in my video, as I was using red filter. Nice topography although. Many canyons, caves, etc. Also, there were not many fishes.
 
Did you do any topside excursions, or just hang out in between dives?

Turquoise Bay Resort gets good reviews, as do some competitors. What led you to choose them for your trip?

Richard.
We did not do any topside excursions, only 3 dives/day. We wanted to go to Anthony's Key Resort or Coco View Resort, but they did not have anything available for days we wanted. Turquoise Bay Resort is quite good, but a lot of walking and hiking.
