Shark Bait Deep

Shark Bait Deep sits along the reef drop-offs off Roatan, in Honduras's Bay Islands, an area known generally for steep walls beginning close to shore. The dive sites along this stretch of coast are typically reached by short boat rides from the island's operators. Divers here have reported a mix of reef fish including Atlantic blue tang, sergeant majors, blue chromis, bluehead and yellowhead wrasse, four-eyed butterflyfish, stoplight parrotfish, and longsnout seahorses tucked into the reef structure.
