Gibson Bight

Gibson Bight is a coastal dive site off Roatán, typically approached from the shore or a local dive boat. The site features a gentle sloping sandy-bottom area transitioning to scattered coral heads and ridges, with depths generally suitable for intermediate to novice divers depending on entry point. Expect clear Caribbean waters, moderate visibility, and a variety of reef life common to Bay Islands, including colorful damselfishes, parrotfishes, small groupers, moray eels, and occasional rays. The bight is known for relaxed conditions on calm days and easy drift potential along the drop-off edges. This makes it a dependable choice for practice dives, photography, or a relaxed exploration of Roatán’s nearshore topography.
