About Roatan Institute of
Deepsea Exploration

Idabel will take you deeper into the unexplored Cayman Trench than most people have ever ventured— illuminating depths down to 2,000 feet (610 meters) below the surface. Through the submarine’s large plexiglass viewing bubble you will see a wide variety of deepsea animal life rarely encountered by humans.

Idabel docks at Half Moon Bay in West End, Roatan, in the Bay Islands of Honduras.

On this website you will find detailed information about Idabel’s safety and comfort features, the captain’s background and experience, the location and terrain we explore, and the deepsea animal life that populates the depths.

You will also learn about our exciting deepsea submarine expeditions, including how to contact us, and our prices, which are as low as $400 (plus tax) per person.
