Dive-site story
Hole in the Wall sits along the protected marine park on Roatan's north-west coast, famous for a dramatic vertical chute cut through the reef plateau. Divers begin over a shallow coral terrace before descending through a limestone tunnel that opens dramatically onto a sheer vertical drop-off into the open blue. Large black groupers, deep-water sea fans, and barrel sponges frame the exit, while pelagic species frequently cruise by along the open wall face.
