Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras
Connie's Dream is a north-shore Roatán wall dive in the Sandy Bay marine reserve, frequently included in the rotation of north-side operators because of its dense coral cover and reliable fish life. The dive begins on a coral plateau at 8 to 10 meters with healthy stands of brain coral, sea rods, lettuce coral, large barrel sponges and pillar coral, and runs to a stepped wall that drops from 18 past 30 meters. The wall is decorated with rope sponges in oranges and purples, deep-water gorgonians, tube sponges and clusters of black coral. Reef fauna is reliable: hawksbill turtle, queen and French angelfish, schooling creole wrasse and grunt, midnight parrotfish, spotted moray and the occasional spotted eagle ray. Macro photographers find cleaner shrimp, banded coral shrimp, arrow crabs and juvenile drum in the upper wall crevices. Conditions inside the reserve are typically calm; visibility runs 22 to 28 meters.
