One tank dive along a natural coral channel in Roatan's reef system

A three-hour scuba diving activity in Flowers Bay, Roatan, where you dive a shore site with a certified divemaster, full equipment and one tank included. Pickup runs from Coxen Hole cruise port or your resort. The dive happens in the Mesoamerican reef system with visibility and water temperature that let you stay comfortable underwater. Bring your diver certification card.

The experience

Three hours covers the whole day: pickup from the cruise port or resort, a security briefing on shore, the dive itself along the reef, and return transport. You'll use full scuba gear and one air tank to explore the colorful reef system and the natural coral channel that runs through Flowers Bay. The divemaster is certified and speaks English or Spanish, and will point out the marine species living in the reef as you dive.

Flowers Bay sits about five minutes from Coxen Hole, so the travel time is short. The water temperature and visibility in Roatan let you stay relaxed underwater without fighting conditions. Tropical fruits and water come with the package. If you want more than one tank, extra dives are available for an additional fee. Snorkelling gear is also on hand if anyone in your group wants to stay on the surface instead.
