Tommy’s Laugh is a wall dive site in Roatán, Caribbean.
Overview
Tommy’s Laugh is a donor-named RMP mooring on the Sandy Bay wall. The site is situated along a section of reef where the wall is punctuated with small crevices and overhangs that shelter spotted lobsters and channel-clinging crabs. Above the wall edge, schools of creole wrasse and blue chromis fill the water column, and the occasional southern stingray glides across the sand flats near the mooring. Visibility typically ranges from 20 to 40 meters, with water temperatures between 26 and 29 degrees Celsius.
