About this site
Front Porch is a reef on the shore of Roatan in Honduras that can be dived directly from the beach, with tanks available at the shore. It reaches around 15 metres and is a vital part of the local reef ecosystem.
Eels, groupers and octopus live among the varied seascape, with schools of blue tangs, parrotfish, angelfish and damselfish, plus sea fans, star coral and brain coral. A small plane wreck lies in the lagoon at 9 metres (30 feet) and makes a useful training site for novice divers.
