Join Blue Planet for a week of world-class diving in beautiful Roatan! Escape your worries and relax on this beautiful island where amazing dive sites are only minutes away. Explore West End, a funky beach community with plenty of shops, bars and restaurants, or retreat to Cocolobo, our new home away from home surrounded by tropical gardens and amazing sea views. 

Roatan

The largest of Honduras' Bay Islands, Roatan offers some of the world’s best diving plus top side adventures and gorgeous vistas. Located on the world’s second largest reef system -- the Meso-American Barrier Reef -- the fringing coral reef ecosystem surrounding the island is simply stunning and you can access incredible dive sites in minutes. 

The Diving

Minimum dive certification/experience:  Perfect for beginners. A great spot to complete your Open Water Diver certification, Advanced Open Water Diver and more. 

Formed by the Bonacca Ridge, an underwater mountain range, there are three major coral reef formations in the waters around the island of Roatan. The Cayman trench is located just west of the island, bringing with it rich nutrients which feed a variety of species and give way to one of the world's richest marine ecosystems. 

Roatan's dramatic walls in warm, crystal-clear waters drop off into the purple depths of the Caribbean while its healthy, varied reefs are teeming with colorful marine life. Several large wrecks lie just minutes from shore. Soaring eagle rays, diverse schools of tropical fish, alongside sharks and garden eels are just a bit of what you’re likely to see. And with water temperatures averaging 80 degrees or better and visibility ranging from 50 to 100 feet, Roatan is a favorite among visitors who love to experience thrilling diving in comfort. We're looking forward to diving with our friends at Reef Gliders again.

Other Activities

There’s plenty to keep you occupied top side as well. Explore the mangroves, visit a local nature park and learn more about Roatan's history, get a massage, zipline, sail, snorkel, relax on the beach or wander through West End or West Bay.

Cocolobo

Cocolobo is a paradise in Roatan's West End. All condos have ocean views while cottages and homes are surrounded by lush gardens. The resort offers two pools to enjoy, plus a huge sun deck, BBQ, honor bar and lounge. Accommodation options include spacious ocean-front condos with kitchenettes and balconies, or a room in a two-bedroom home with a full kitchen and plenty of space. Cocolobo is a five minute walk to the heart of West End Village and the white sandy beach of Half Moon Bay.
