Sandy Bay, Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras
Pablo's Place is a wall and slope dive in the Sandy Bay marine reserve on the north shore of Roatán, frequently included in the rotation of north-side operators because of its dense reef cover and reliable marine life. The dive starts on a coral shelf at 8 to 10 meters with large barrel sponges, brain coral and pillar coral, and runs out to a steep wall that drops past 35 meters. The wall is festooned with rope sponges, deep-water sea fans, tube sponges and black coral, and is a consistent location for sightings of green moray, hawksbill turtle, spotted eagle ray, queen and French angelfish, schooling creole wrasse and large midnight parrotfish. Pelagic visitors include schools of horse-eye jack and the occasional Caribbean reef shark. The site sits inside the Roatán Marine Park's no-take zone with a permanent mooring; currents are typically gentle and visibility ranges from 20 to 30 meters across the season.
