Blue Planet Divers
WEST BAY’S LEADING BOUTIQUE DIVE SHOP

Whether you are heading to Roatan to dive for fun or take a class, their team is here to ensure you enjoy the unique diversity of Roatan’s reef.

The 5 Best Islands

The best islands in Mexico, Central America, and South America, as voted by Travel + Leisure readers, have gorgeous beaches and a staggering array of wildlife. Picture-perfect beaches, otherworldly snorkeling and diving, and exceptionally warm and friendly locals — it’s not a mystery why travelers across the globe flock to the best islands year after year.

Soap Star Swims with the Sharks

General Hospital’s James Patrick Stuart Was Able to Declare, ‘Now I’ve Officially Done Everything’.
James Patrick Stuart (Valentin) was spotted deep below the ocean’s surface in the Caribbean, where he posted a few photos during his trip to Roatan, Honduras. Check them out here

Best Places for Reef and Jungle Adventure

Looking to venture outside the popular tourist bubble? Honduras is a country with so much to see – you can hike through tropical rainforests, cloud forests and mountains, paddle around mangrove swamps, rivers and lakes or visit Mayan archaeological sites overflowing with ancient secrets. Check them out here

The Best Beaches

The beaches on Roatán are one of the country’s biggest draws, and the island is a world-renowned scuba diving destination and major port-of-call for cruise ships. But if you’ve got time to beach-hop across the entire country, from the Bay Islands to the mainland, you may have the whole shore to yourself, free from shiploads of cruise ship passengers.

Best Time to Visit Honduras

A warm, subtropical climate makes Honduras an ideal year-round destination. The best time to visit depends on what you want to do. Many outdoor activities are weather-dependent and to make travel planning extra fun, some parts of Honduras remain dry while the rest of the country receives tropical storms.
