Scuba Diving at Anthony’s Key Resort in Roatán

Why Anthony’s Key Works So Well

Anthony’s Key Resort is built around the idea that diving should be straightforward. The on-site PADI 5-Star dive center is run by seasoned instructors who understand how to balance guidance with independence. Most guests appreciate that the dive schedule is predictable: shore dives available throughout the day and up to three boat dives daily. The boats are comfortable, the gear is well maintained and the dive sites are close enough that you spend your time underwater instead of commuting.

The resort also places a strong emphasis on conservation. Coral restoration work, reef protection and educational programs are woven into the fabric of the place. It gives your week a sense of purpose, especially if you care about how tourism can support fragile ecosystems.

The atmosphere is exactly what divers tend to appreciate: warm, unpretentious and steady. Evenings often unfold slowly with sunsets on the deck, local Garifuna performances or simple conversations with people who ended up becoming friends. It’s easy to settle in and feel at ease.

The Diving Experience

Roatán offers some of the most interesting diving in the Caribbean thanks to the island’s proximity to deep water. That geography creates steep walls, swim-throughs and a mix of sites that work for both new and experienced divers.

Shore diving is available from the resort, which means you can head out in the early morning before breakfast or slip into the water at night to see bioluminescence light up with your movement. Boat dives cover the nearby wall sites, coral gardens, caverns and a few shipwrecks that have developed into thriving artificial reefs. Dive masters know the terrain well and are quick to help you spot eagle rays, turtles, small sharks or the tiny macro creatures that are easy to miss if you aren’t looking closely.

Night diving here feels special. Octopuses, bioluminescent plankton and the quiet rhythm of the reef after dark create a sense of stillness you don’t forget.

The Dive masters are great at Anthony’s Key, they really work with you to have the best diving experience no matter your diving level – Client L. Forland

If your goal is to spend a good portion of your week underwater, Anthony’s Key gives you the structure to do that without feeling rushed or overloaded. Secure your spot now and start planning your Roatán adventure.

Accommodations With a Sense of Place

Once you’re out of the water for the day, your room becomes part of the rhythm. The resort’s overwater bungalows sit directly on the lagoon with wooden decks and quiet sunrise views. Many divers choose these because they offer immediate access to the water and a gentle breeze throughout the day.

The deluxe bungalows offer more interior space and the same kind of restful view across the bay. They work well for longer stays or travelers who like a little more room to spread out their gear.

If you prefer elevation and a wide perspective, the hillside rooms sit higher up among the trees. These rooms overlook the resort and the ocean beyond, giving you a peaceful, tucked-away feeling while still being a short walk from the dock and dining areas.

All rooms include air conditioning, daily housekeeping and the steady background chorus of the island. Nothing feels overdone or flashy. It’s simple comfort meant to support the pace of a dive week.

More Than Diving

Even if you’re not a diver, there’s plenty to do at Anthony’s Key Resort. From wildlife encounters to spa treatments and ocean adventures, this resort offers something for everyone.

Anthony’s Key works well for mixed groups because the resort offers more than tanks and fins. The dolphin program is one of the most respected in the region, allowing guests to learn about these animals in a natural lagoon environment. Snorkeling and paddleboarding are available right off the property, and the calm water makes both approachable for all skill levels.

If you need a day to rest, the oceanfront spa offers massages and treatments that draw on local ingredients. Two pools and several small beach areas give you easy places to unwind without going anywhere at all. Dining is included and leans into fresh seafood, Honduran dishes and simple Caribbean flavors. Meals are served with wide views over the water, which always seems to quiet the room.

Travelers who don’t dive still find plenty to enjoy, and that balance often makes the resort a good fit for couples or family groups.

Why Roatán Is a Favorite Among Divers

Roatán’s appeal comes down to consistency. Warm water, strong visibility and easy access to the reef make it a place where you can count on good diving most of the year. The island sits close to deep water, so the topography shifts from shallow coral gardens to dramatic walls surprisingly quickly. Sea turtles, eagle rays and nurse sharks are common sightings, and the reef’s structure offers both simple and more challenging dives without long travel times.

If you’ve dived in places that feel crowded or overrun, Roatán often feels calmer. The pace is different here, and so is the energy. You get variety without chaos and beauty without needing to race for it.

Roatán is one of the best dive destinations in the Caribbean, offering:

Diverse marine life – Sea turtles, eagle rays, nurse sharks, and colorful reef fish

Spectacular underwater landscapes – Deep walls, coral gardens, and mysterious caves

Shipwrecks transformed into vibrant artificial reefs

Warm waters and visibility up to 100 feet, year-round

Roatán is one of the best places in the Caribbean to dive, and it’s easy to see why. Warm, clear water, incredible marine life, and diverse underwater landscapes make every dive feel like something out of a documentary. You’ll see everything from sea turtles and eagle rays to hidden caves and colorful coral gardens. If you’re into wreck diving, there are several sunken ships that have become thriving artificial reefs. And with year-round great conditions and visibility that often exceeds 100 feet, Roatán is perfect for both beginners and experienced divers looking for their next big adventure.

Planning Your Stay

Anthony’s Key Resort is a strong match for divers who want a week centered around the water without unnecessary extras. It’s also a good choice for groups where not everyone dives because the resort offers plenty above the surface too.
