Helmet Diving & Beach Break

OVERVIEW

Walk along the ocean floor wearing no equipment other than a diving helmet for an up-close view of the marine life darting about the coral reef off the Blue Roatan Beach Club. After a brief introduction to helmet diving, you will be ready to explore the crystal-clear waters. Helmet diving is easy to learn. Just slip the helmet comfortably over your head so it rests on your shoulders. Air is supplied to the helmet through a tube connected to an air tank on the water’s surface that follows wherever you walk. There isn’t an air regulator or mouthpiece, so you can breathe just like you normally do. You can even wear prescription glasses or contact lenses because your head will not get wet while helmet diving. You can expect to observe fish such as sergeant majors, blue tangs and perhaps a sea turtle or two. Following the helmet-diving adventure, you can spend free time on the beach.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Walk along the ocean floor, breathing through a helmet with its own air supply.
