About this dive site

This dive site, known as Fish Bowl, is nestled on the northern side of Roatan island within the calm confines of Turtle Harbor, Honduras. It offers a captivating sandy-bottomed reef, providing a serene and picturesque underwater setting that frequently entices divers to return. Its shallow nature makes navigation straightforward, ideal for relaxed exploration of its gentle slopes and formations.

The Fish Bowl is home to a variety of marine inhabitants. Divers can expect to encounter typical reef dwellers such as lionfish, various species of eels, and groupers. Keep a keen eye out for larger visitors like majestic green turtles and graceful rays gliding across the sandy patches or near the reef structures.

The best time to visit this dive site, like much of Roatan, is generally outside the rainy season (roughly November to January), though diving is excellent year-round. Its shallow depths make it a perfect spot for beginner divers to gain confidence, and for freedivers and snorkelers to enjoy the vibrant marine life from the surface or with breath-holds. The beautiful setting and gentle conditions ensure a relaxing and rewarding experience for all.
