 Snorkeling in front of Cocoview resort

 Our home on Roatan is Cocoview resort, situated on its own small private island. The resort, known for its casual efficiency and friendly staff, offers either over-water bungalows or air-conditioned rooms with private porches.

From our private chartered boat, or from the beach right in front of the resort, we'll explore some of Roatan's best snorkeling sites.

Although some of the invertebrates are hard to find, such as the arrowhead crab, other are easily observed by snorkelers. Squid patrolling the reef during the daytime, will hunt at night, and the colorful Flamingo Tongue snail is mostly found on gorgonians.
