The BEST CLASSIC DIVE SITES on GUANAJA ISLAND:
* Wreck of the Don Enrique --
A very interesting wall that drops 80 feet to a sandy bottom, the bottom slopes gradually deeper, and at 90 feet you come across a sunken shrimp boat resting right-side-up on the bottom. The mast still looms upwards to about 50 feet. Spotted eagle rays are common to this site.
* Michael's Rock Reef --
This site is famous for its cracks and crevices. Here you can find nudibranchs here if you search carefully. There's almost always a friendly furry sea cucumber available for photos here in one of the sandy patches. The maximum depth reaches to 70 feet. This is also a good practice dive before you do Black Rock Canyons.
* Vertigo --
This is a site along the barrier reef wall that has some spectacular drop-offs. As is true along the entire barrier wall, the beauty here is truly unbelievable. The top of the wall is at about 35 feet, and then drops down to about 160 feet, where a sandy shelf runs out about 60 feet, then drops to oblivion. Black and white crinoids are found here. On Guanaja, it's rare to find them anywhere other than certain spots along this wall.
* Black Rock Canyons --
This maze of caves and tunnels, created by volcanic action, is one of the most exciting dives around Guanaja. It's common to turn a corner, or come out of a tunnel and come across a sleeping shark or a big moray eel lounging in a hole. Bring your dive light.
