About this dive site

This dive site, known as Dolphins Den, is a captivating shallow cave/cavern located on the reef, accessible from both its inner and outer sides. Divers typically explore the cavern between 5-12 meters, where natural light often penetrates, though a torch is recommended for optimal viewing. There's no specific history or story provided for the site name.

The site is teeming with marine life, notably featuring 'Tons of Giant Anemone’s' on the inner reef side. Lucky divers may encounter schools of Glassy Sweepers and Silversides within the cave itself, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. The outer reef boasts a healthy and vibrant coral ecosystem.

The best time to visit Dolphins Den is generally during Honduras' dry season when calm waters and excellent visibility prevail. This site is particularly suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its shallow depths and unique cavern structure. While natural light can guide experienced divers, a torch enhances the experience, allowing full appreciation of the cavern's hidden corners and inhabitants.
