The Answer is: Honduras

Welcome to the Central American eco hotspot and dive Mecca of Honduras. On the mainland, you will find the impressive ancient ruins of Copan, known as the Paris of the Maya world because of its impressive, intact art. The primal forests of the central highlands are wrapped in a misty shroud of clouds and punctuated by the sounds of howler monkeys, the calls of the vividly colored scarlett macaw and the footprints of the jaguar.

Just offshore are the famous Bay Islands of Honduras, which were voted into the Big Animals and Value of Diving Dollar categories of Scuba Diving’s Top 100 Readers Choice Awards. The Bay Islands boast reefs that are home to every species of marine life found in the Caribbean.

Roatan, the largest of the three islands, is wrapped in numerous famous dives, such as Mary's Place and the CoCo View wall. In fact, two Roatan dive sites — Fish Den and the wreck of the El Aguila — were named to_Scuba Diving_’s Top 100 Gold List. At the Roatan Institute for Marine Science you can dive with dolphins or hop over to the sleepy island of Utila, one of the world's true whale shark hotspots. For edge-of-the-earth dive adventures, don't miss the third sister island of Guanaja, where the wreck of the Jado Trader awaits.
