Other people's footage, not advice: how someone else dives here says nothing about what suits your team. Dive within your training.

The dive

This is Roatán's best-known dive site. The fissure probably formed in an ancient earthquake. Practical: Nitrox gives noticeably more bottom time here.

Deep, with swim-throughs that need good buoyancy: Sun Divers only takes divers with Advanced Open Water or a Deep adventure dive, after a check-out dive. The south coast has rough seas for much of the year.

Depth and profile
A plateau at ~9 m (30 ft) sloping to ~18 m (60 ft), cut by deep crevices to ~37 m (120 ft), with swim-throughs and overhangs; then the sandy slope drops further.
Configuration
Crevices with daylight from above: recreational gear, within your no-deco time (estimate).

This is how the planner decides who in your team may dive this cave. Rules your own trip adds (organizer, a mail, the AI) show with your trip.

How to get there

Boat dive on the south-east side, close to Barefoot Cay. Centres in West End mostly go when the wind is from the north; resorts on the south coast go more often.

Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (Oct 2026): the websites of Splash Inn Dive Resort, Roatan Divers, Sun Divers and CoCo View Resort, the Roatan Marine Park (voluntary fee), Anthony's Key Resort on the chamber, El Heraldo (Feb 2026) on the 911 number and the PADI blog (May 2023) as support. No site has a published pin. These are guided boat dives into reef caverns, tunnels, swim-throughs and crevices with daylight in reach; the requirements come from the dive centres. Certification and configurations are estimates.
