Milt’s Heavenly Dive is a wall dive site in Roatán, Caribbean.
Overview
Milt’s Heavenly Dive is a Roatan Marine Park mooring site along the barrier reef east of Sandy Bay. While specific diving descriptions for this site are not widely published, the eastern reef corridor offers excellent wall diving on healthy coral formations. Large barrel sponges and gorgonian sea fans decorate the wall face, with moray eels sheltering in crevices and schools of creole wrasse streaming past in the current. Sea turtles are commonly sighted on the reef top. Visibility ranges 20-40 meters.
