  Marine park fee for divers

  1. jan – 31. desBestill tidlig

  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. Kilde ↗

  Whale sharks in the Bay Islands

  20. feb – 30. apr · vanligvisDykkesesong

  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.

Toppsesong — Semana Santa, Cruise season

• Sesong

  Dry season on the reef

  1. mar – 31. aug

  March through August is the settled half: the wind drops, the north-shore walls hold their visibility, and boats run every morning. August is the hot, still end of it, when the surface goes glassy.

  Hurricane season

  The island sits west of the main Caribbean track and direct hits are generational here, Mitch in 1998 being the one everyone names. The season still brings the wettest weeks and the loosest change policies. Kilde ↗

  Coral spawning nights

  20. aug – 25. sep · vanligvisDykkesesong

  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. Kilde ↗

  Cold fronts sliding off the North American mainland reach the island every few weeks through the winter, giving two or three days of wind and chop that shut the north-shore dive sites and push the boats round to the south side.

  Two terminals, at Coxen Hole and Mahogany Bay, and on a four-ship morning West Bay beach is a different place entirely. The schedules are published months ahead and worth reading before you pick your days.

  Christmas and New Year

  Honduran families and returning islanders arrive together, and the dive shops run their fullest boats of the year. December often behaves like the dry season despite the calendar, which is why the fortnight sells out. Kilde ↗
