The Front Porch dive is one of the finest North shore dives, due to the proximity of  Anthony's Key (intro photo) to the reef.  You are just a short swim away from the reef's edge, with an easy dock-side entry and exit.

Along the short stretch of road between Half Moon Bay and Sandy Bay on the Northwest side of the island.

Front Porch

Lovely wreck with great visibility in calm conditions. Bottom/sand around 120', top of superstructure is around 60'. Ship is almost completely intact. Wildlife abounds around the superstructure. There was a seahorse on the port side of the bow.

Sandy Bay beach is the closest entry for the dive through the Little Channel.  The reef wall is about 300 meters beyond the beach.  This should be considered an advanced dive due to the distance of the kick-out.

Take the main road North out of Coxen Hole to cross the island.  As soon as you see the ocean again, you are at Sandy Bay!

Sunny Side B&B is another access point to the Spooky Channel.  Although not a full service dive resort operation, it is the closest dock to the channel, with a spectacular beach for the non-divers in your group.  Don't show up unannounced at this location; diving is generally for the guests of the B&B only.

Sunny Side B&B

Bay Islands Beach Resort is home of the famous Spooky Channel.  The channel offers three unique shore diving opportunities: the inside reef for snorkelers to view the large coral heads and friendly parrot fish; the channel itself, which is a grand-canyon-like dive of  15 meters wide and 30 meters deep; and the outer reef that houses all the expected life of Roatan's North shore. Guaranteed lobsters, shrimps, octopus, rays and groupers.

Just outside of Half Moon Bay on the Northwest side of the island, you'll find a small resort that has an unusual access to some advanced diving.  Entry into the water is easy from this site; getting out isn't!  Generally, divers swim around the bend to the left and exit at the Half Moon Bay Cabins, our next site.  The gentleman, Tulio, standing in our intro picture was our tour guide for our stay on the island.  Tulio is a part-time dive instructor, a part-time tour guide, and a full-time conversationalist.  Born on Roatan, he is fully familiar with the diving and local life on the island.  If you are staying in Coco View or Fantasy Island, ask for him by name if you need a quick ride to a dive site or a full day tour.
