Free Gordon Tour is a wall dive site in Roatán, Caribbean.
Overview
Free Gordon Tour is a Roatan Marine Park mooring site along the eastern section of the south coast barrier reef. While individual published information about this site is limited, it sits within the less-trafficked eastern corridor where the reef is notably pristine. The wall drops from a coral-covered reef top into the deep blue, adorned with barrel sponges, sea fans, and healthy hard corals. Divers typically encounter sea turtles, eagle rays, and groupers. Visibility averages 20-40 meters with water temperatures of 26-29°C year-round.
