Diving
& Snorkeling Honduras' Bay Islands
David
Behrens, Cam
O'Brien
Once
a haven for pirates, 67 sleepy islands and cays off the Honduras mainland are
now a budding ecotourism destination. The clear, warm waters are home to every
fish species found in the Caribbean, as well as most hard corals, gorgonians and
sponges. Renowned for wall diving, the region also boasts several wrecks,
shallow reefs and fascinating blue water sites. Visitors can swim with dolphins,
while lucky divers may spot a passing whale shark. This book describes 74 of the
best dive sites, with full-colour photos throughout.
