Snorkeling in West Bay, Roatan 

Thank you! 😃

This was straight from the beach. I did take a couple of excursions in Roatan, though. Check my playlist

I’ve heard Palawan is nice

Seemed pretty healthy to me, but this was 2 years ago. I’ve heard it’s good this year, but there’s been SOME bleaching because of a war summer. Cayos Cuchinos is a smaller island about 20 miles from Roatan that has a resort. There’s great snorkeling out there as well. I also think St. John, USVI, has a to e of amazing snorkeling from shore. Here’s my video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iz8hNWN9i_8.htmlsi=zQ7fKJymx7thZIF7

At West Bay, go in on the left end of the beach and it’s pretty immediate that you hit the coral. Same in West End. Have you seen my other Roatan videos?

I have not but I'll check them out. Can't wait to see all of the marine life! Thanks!@@JfCLA

We took a boat ride to a couple other spots, like Pigeon Cay, a small spit of sand a couple hours away with incredible coral. Also, West End Divers offers to take snorkelers out on their dive boats for cheap. It was like $15 a person when we did it. Great snorkeling out there on the Blue Wall

Nice! I'm taking notes, thank you!@@JfCLA

My pleasure!

Not a hold-your-breath kinda guy?

@@JfCLA I could, but getting back to the surface might be a bit of a problem! I can hold my breath for 1 minute. After that minute, I might drown!!!!

lol it's like 5 feet everywere over there very very shallow and easy.

@@christineblack4654 Hay, I could drown in a bath tub!!!

From the beach in West Bay

Maybe 150 yards. The coral starts pretty close to shore near the left side. So you cruise over that for about 100-200 yards (depending on the shape of the reef and where you are), and you'll start hitting those areas. A bit further out and there's an actual wall (drop off). I went out there on a boat with West End Divers, and it was pretty nice. They only charged $15 to take us out - Thanks for the visit to my channel!

@@JfCLA thank you! Anything sketchy to look out for? Strong currents, shallow areas, etc? Or pretty chill all the way out and back? I've snorkeled quite a bit but I'm bringing my fiancée.

@@timdiehl5507 We spent a week in January and went here probably 3 times, and there was never anything that would cause a concern for any level of snorkeler. Totally chill, and usually from 3'-6' depth. Perfect conditions. As far as currents, no. However, if you take my suggestion about the boat out to the wall, that was a bit choppy and the water did move us around a bit, and I could imagine someone without experience may not like it. I was with a 15 year old, and they were fine. I only went out there one time, so not sure if that's typical or not. My wife weighs about 100lbs (strong swimmer), and she had no problems out at the wall at all.

This is the main beach at West Bay. You walk through the resort to get to it. The best snorkeling is towards the left of the beach :)

Спасибо!

Hey, thanks for the view! Not sure about that, though. That sand is mostly from Parrot fish poop. Parrot fish create about 80% of the sand in and around coral reefs :)
