Dive-site story
Located off the southwestern tip of Roatan, Texas and the adjacent Pablo's Place sit where open ocean currents collide with the reef barrier. This convergence fuels massive deep-water barrel sponges and attracts schooling pelagic species along a steep, plunging wall. Divers drift over a wide plateau that suddenly drops into blue water, making it a favorite for experienced divers comfortable managing variable drift currents and depth awareness.
Massive barrel sponges and deep-water gorgonians along the plateau edge
Schools of Atlantic spadefish and horse-eye jacks circling in the blue
Frequent encounters with hawksbill turtles feeding along the upper shelf
Dynamic drift dive along an exposed oceanic point
