  Marine park fee for divers

  Every diver and snorkeller pays the Roatan Marine Park an annual fee, collected by the shops as a wristband. It is what pays for the mooring buoys and the patrol boat, and the shops check for it. Fonte ↗

  The reliable encounters are off Utila, an hour west by boat, where the shelf drops into deep water and the boils bring plankton up. Roatan gets occasional sightings on the north shore; late February to April is the run.

  The reef spawns on the nights after the late-summer full moons and the shops run boats out at nine or ten. A slow, strange dive in the dark rather than a spectacle, and the timing slips by days. Fonte ↗
