Signature Site

The CoCo View house reef is really several sites: a mucky channel for muck diving, Newman’s Wall, CoCo View Wall and the Prince Albert wreck. We often find frogfish and seahorses in the shallows. On the wreck, you almost always see eagle rays and stingrays. Best of all, you can take your time. —Stacy Lewis, General Manager of Coco View Resort, Roatan
