Cayos Cochinos Dive Trip

The Seamounts of Cayos Cochinos. The Best Diving in the Bay Islands.

Located 17 miles south of Roatan The Seamounts are essentially unspoiled because of their location and weather conditions that do not always permit dive boats to reach them. But for the same reason, this trip is not always possible. We ask our clients to book this tour in advance. This will give us the possibility to reschedule it during your stay on the island based on the best weather. The tour will be completely reimbursable in case of cancellation for bad weather.

The Seamounts of Cayos Cochinos

The seamounts are only 17 miles away from Roatán and a few more miles away from the beautiful Cayos Cochinos Archipelago. They are a reef formation characterized by a range of large underwater mountains that rise from the bottom depths of the reef to shallower depths. Average depths of the mountain peaks extend up from 70 feet deep (20 meters) to 40 feet deep (12 meters)....... READ MORE ABOUT DIVING THE SEAMOUNTS OF CAYOS COCHINOS ON OUR BLOG

“Best snorkeling trip

Antonio and captain Edison are the perfect pair to take you out snorkeling in Roatan. My boyfriend and I did a half day trip up to Pristine Bay and had the best time. Antonio is super knowledgeable and keeps you informed on all the marine life. He included some photography that I am forever thankful for . . . . . . . . . .

“ Awesome Diving!!! Professional Crew

What a great week I spent diving at the Blue Reef Explorers! Couldn’t ask for more really....Antonio is cool, calm and his way of explaining things is just awesome! The boat is so beautiful and spacious, the instructors so professional who clearly have a passion for diving, such a cool crew!! . . . . . . . . . .

“A day in paradise

We chartered a day tour with Antonio at Blue Reef Explorers and it was truly the highlight of our Roatan stay! He and Captain Edison made sure the conditions were safe and treated us to amazing hospitality, delicious food and most importantly snorkelling in our preferred spots . . . . . . . . . .

“Blue Reef Explorers is Awesome!

Don't miss Blue Reef Explorers! We started our snorkeling adventure with a tasty breakfast snack on Antonio's beautiful boat. He then took us to interesting places and great snorkeling sites. He knows the history of the area and is very environmentally conscious. . . . . . . . . .

“The best trip EVER !

Blue Reef Explorers took us to Cayos Cochina. They monitored the seas prior to scheduling our trip, therefore, it was a smooth trip there and back. The food was excellent. The snorkeling spots were even better. All day, the trip got better and better. We will definitely use them again. . . . . . . . . . .

“Great, comfortable boat!

We went on a half day snorkel trip with Blue Reef Explorers yesterday and it was definitely the highlight of out visit. The Emily is a 44 ft. boat that is meticulously maintained and very stable with ....... very nice snorkel spots, both in the protected marine park. One site had the large starfish . . . . . . . . . .

“Incredible day!

Me and my partner did a tour with Blue Reef Explorers and it ended up being the most beautiful days of our vacation. The food was amazingand fresh..... We really enjoyed the area with cushions on the roof where we could go lie down and enjoy the 360 view. . . . . . . . . . .

“A great trip with a wonderful crew

. . . One important thing to note is that although the boat can hold many more people they only take a maximum of 12 people so there is plenty of space to spread out and not feel crowded. The boat is ideally set up as it offers plenty of seating in both the sun and shade as well as an upper level sun deck . . . . . . . . . .

“Best snorkel in 7 trips!

Best snorkel I’ve had in my 7 trips to Roatan! I love to snorkel and have been many times all around Roatan, but this experience was the tops.. Antonio was a fantastic tour guide.. . . . . . . . .

“Best snorkeling tour in Roatan !

Blue reef explorers was amazing! Antonio and the crew are very experienced and accommodating. We literally just had to show up. They had everything from gear and towels to snacks and fantastic rum punch. Our trip to Cayos Cochinos was phenomenal . . . . . . . .

“Questa e' Vita

What an amazing tour. Everything was great. The food was delicious and served on nice plates. The boat was spacious and comfortable and the snorkeling spots capitan Edison have chosen for us were beautiful. . . . . . . . . .

“Best day!

We looooved it! It was definitely the highlight of our trip to the Bay Islands. The crew made the trip perfect; they are fun, helpful and very helpful. This is a must, book your trip with Blue Reef Explorers. . . . . . . . .

“A MUST DO experience!

A must do experience.They make everything so convenient! We traveled to Pristine Bay where we got awesome views of starfish alley and then got some bonus time to just float and relax in the crystal blue water. A perfect day! Antonio capture some awesome photos and video (which he shared with us). . . . . . . . . .
