Angus’s Aquarium is a wall dive site in Roatán, Caribbean.
Overview
Angus’s Aquarium is a shallow reef site in the West End that lives up to its name with a concentration of marine life in an easily accessible setting. The site has been adopted by Roatan Divers for monthly Dive Against Debris cleanup activities, helping maintain the health of the reef. Snorkelers and new divers can explore the coral heads in calm, clear water while spotting parrotfish, juvenile angelfish, damselfish, and the occasional seahorse tucked among the coral branches. The protected shallows make this one of the West End’s most relaxed dive sites, ideal for training dives or a leisurely afternoon underwater.
