While larger pelagics are more common on the Pacific coast, Roatan still often hosts dolphins, reef sharks, whale sharks, whales, hammerhead sharks and manta rays. Typical sightings include turtles, rays, moray eels and a huge diversity of reef fish, many rarely seen anywhere else in the Caribbean.
BananaramaDive Resort, Island Pearl, and Bananarama Dive Center is located near the western "point" of Roatan sland. At no other location will you find better fish life and variety of corals and sponges during your Roatan diving experience and dive certification.

Roatan's water temperature ranges from 78 degrees - 84 degrees, with visibility consistent between 60-100ft, sometimes more! Diving takes place on both sides of the island. When it is choppy on one side of the island, the other side is usually calm and provides the experience you hope for even in bad weather.
Bananarama is located on Roatan's leeward, western side and is rarely affected by high winds and rough seas that can make diving hazardous. During winter season, Oct - Jan, the wind direction can change daily and you'll find yourself on the popular south side more often. On the protected south side, our docks' location is less than 10 minutes from the dive center, making the diving and the conditions as convenient and relaxing as ever.
Your safety and enjoyment always take priority when selecting the appropriate Roatan diving location and dive course sites.
