Spooky Channel is a shore accessible salt water dive site, located in Roatan, Honduras. This dive site has an average rating of 4.35 out of 5 from 17 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 81-90ft/25-27m.

Along the short stretch of road between Half Moon Bay and Sandy Bay on the
Northwest side of the island

Spooky Channel is located directly off the end of the Sunnyside pier. (Old Bay Island Beach Resort) There is a maze of zigzags and tunnel like effects leading throughout the reef at depths of up to 95 feet. Snorkelers and divers have very easy access to this area from the end of the pier.

From SportDiver magazine; Spooky Channel The dive isn’t as spooky as it is eerie. A better dive for the experienced diver, the channel is a 10-story deep underwater crevasse where you enter an underwater grotto at 60 feet. Here, natural light slowly recedes and you find the walls getting closer and closer. After you explore the main chamber at about 95 feet, you’ll find pillar-filled swim-throughs that will lead you out to the safety stop.

It’s close to Halloween so I will allow it to be called Spooky not eerie. I thought it was a very interesting and fun site. There are some very small swim throughs that fellow divers stirred up badly, making them blind passages though. However, still it was a very cool site to dive. In one place divers come out of a small swim through and there are three different channels. Very fun. Loved it.

Yeah, it’s spooky. Probably the only place in Roatan where the visibility drops considerably.
