West End, Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras
Herbie's Place is a wall dive on the western edge of Roatán just south of Hole in the Wall, named after a long-time local divemaster and a consistent favourite of West End operators. The site begins on a coral shelf at 8 to 10 meters that is dotted with large barrel sponges, elkhorn relics and pillar coral, then drops along a steep wall that plunges past 40 meters. The wall is festooned with brightly coloured rope sponges, deep-water sea fans and clusters of black coral. The site is reliable for hawksbill turtles, midnight parrotfish, queen and grey angelfish, spotted moray and schooling horse-eye jack; lucky divers spot hammerheads cruising the deep blue during the cooler months. Conditions are typically mild with consistent visibility of 20 to 30 meters; the site is moored as part of the Roatán Marine Park network and is a common second tank after a deeper dive at Hole in the Wall.
