Looking for the best diving location in Central America? You may just find it in one of the most unlikely places: Honduras! Slightly spontaneously we decided to hit Honduras during our trip at the end of 2019. We had heard rumours about the superb diving possibilities around the Bay Islands, located 50 km in front of the Caribbean coast of Honduras. Reason enough to take the plunge and to include the country in the Latin American itinerary.
Yes you need to be careful in Honduras. That said, the nature over here really is stunning and pristine (because few tourists..) and the people we met were super friendly. A typical ‘this place deserves so much better’ country to visit.
We stayed for a week along the lovely western shores of Roatán at the end of 2019, and it was one of the most relaxed weeks of our time in Latin-America. Diving over here is absolutely stunning, think crystal clear waters, and even suitable for rookies (such as myself) as you’ll barely experience currents. For people looking for more exotic experiences, Roatán also offers offbeat dives; such as tunnel dives and wreck diving. We’ve experienced ourselves 7 excellent dives. Here some shots and a clip of what we saw in gorgeous waters surrounding the island and from above!

We also did some research to the best typical Honduran food such as baleadas (and other comfort food) on the island – so here are our biggest (budget friendly) recommendations for you on the island!
Here’s where to find that island (and our favourite spots)!
