Enjoy Turquoise Bay's tropical splendor, interesting diving, and simple relaxation...

...located on Roatan's northeast shore, Turquoise Bay is the only dive resort in this lush and remote area of the island providing you with the opportunity to dive uncrowded, pristine dive sites. The resort is set on a hillside with spectacular ocean views and a protected bay which makes the water calm and perfect for swimming and kayaking.

Being the largest of the three Bay Islands of Honduras, Roatan has so much underwater beauty and healthy reef to explore! As part of the Mesoamerican barrier reef system, the second largest reef in the world, Roatan is an absolute mecca for scuba diving. Roatan is perfectly suited for new and veteran divers alike. With coral gardens, shipwrecks, sand flats full of hidden delights, and action-packed shark dives, there's never a dull moment underwater.

The abundance of corals present in Roatan’s sunlit shallows and steep walls is almost unreal. Every color of the rainbow is represented on the reef, and the variety is equally astounding — everything from flower and pillar coral to elkhorn and staghorn coral can be seen here.

All 26 rooms offer free WiFi, balconies or patios, and flat-screen TVs with cable channels. Other amenities available to guests include coffee makers, free newspapers, and ceiling fans. Beach lovers will enjoy the private, tranquil, 500 ft white-sand beach. At Turquoise Bay Dive & Beach Resort you will enjoy the very individual and personal service that only a small dive resort can offer.

Liveaboard Diving in the Maldives

The reefs of the Maldives are teaming with life, both large and small. It's not unusual to find sleeping white-tip reef sharks during the day dives and then see them hunting at night. Though probably best known for the larger pelagic creatures like whale sharks, mantas, sea turtles and many other species of sharks, the reefs are also home to a surprising number of fish varieties. Anemone fish, octopus and many species of moray eels can also be found hanging around. The dive guides are very good at finding rare creatures like blue ribbon eels, frog fish and scorpion fish. The coral reefs in the Maldives are healthy and colorful with schools of beautiful tropical fish in abundance.

Diving itineraries in the Maldives typically begin in the central island atolls of North and South Male and Ari and then head either North or South. The central itineraries are recommended for fist time visitors to the Maldives. These adventures include visits to Ari and often Vaavu, (south of Ari), where you'll have the opportunity to see whale sharks and mantas. Head North and you'll increase your chances of manta feeding stations and some exploratory diving. Head South and the further you go, the more channel diving with stronger current you'll encounter along with more species of sharks! Top this off with the possibility of a wreck dive or two, and you really can't ask for more.

Experience the Ultimate Dive & Vacation Adventure

Dive into a technicolor world. The Red Sea in Egypt is one of the planet’s most exotic and captivating natural environments. There are few places in the world where you'll find such a diverse array of radiant corals, schooling pelagics, and plentiful marine life along with topside extensions to sites that date to antiquity – it is little wonder that divers refer to scuba diving in the Red Sea as legendary.

In the Northern part of the Red Sea, the Ras Mohammed National Park is situated at the confluence of waters from the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Aqaba. This mix results in a wide range of diversity in terms of coral and fish life. Its best known dive sites include Shark Reef and Yolanda Reef, 2 big pinnacles rising up from the depths and home to grey reef sharks, tunas, barracudas, snappers and even hammerhead sharks. You’ll also see many sting rays, moray eels and scorpionfish, as well as dozens of toilets which were the cargo of the Yolanda wreck.

The SS Thistlegorm wreck is certainly the most famous wreck in Egypt, with its WWII motorcycles and jeeps still in the same position they were when this ship was bombed by German airplanes. This beautiful wreck can be dived several times, to discover all its compartments and cargo.
