#1 Top Dive Site
Mary's Place
Roatan Dive Center offers Roatan's signature dive site of Mary's Place on the South Shore of Roatan.
Mary's Place is unique because it was formed by an earthquake many thousands of years ago, which split the reef into a T shape and formed a breathtaking dive site with deep canyons and long swim-throughs, from 40+ft at the mooring the reef is pristine, then into the deep fissure that attracts large schools of horse-eye jacks and walls of black coral and sea fans.
The dive is often completed as a figure of 8 to ensure nothing is missed.
Excellent buoyancy control is required at this site. Delicate corals and sponges. Not for Novice Divers.
Depth range of 40 - 100’ to beyond recreational dive limits
