Roatan has grown to where a steady supply of pig organs are now available. Therefore, I am now making regular deposits of food at a GPS-marked location to attract the elusive six-gill shark. I'm happy to report that on nearly every night dive there are regular sitings of these massive prehistoric sharks.
The six-gill shark is one of the largest but least known predatory sharks in the world. This rare opportunity has drawn film crews from around the globe, including National Geographic Television, to record this seldom-observed ocean giant from the safety of Idabel.

1000ft/305m
1 1/2 Hours
$400.00 USD
We explore down the second wall, which drops between 200- 700 feet (60-210 meters), and around huge field of boulders at its base. At 1000 feet (305 meters) we can often see over 200 feet (60 meters) horizontally using only natural light. Animals encountered include sea lillies, glass sponges, pom-pom anenomes, and lace coral.
1500ft/460m
2 1/2 Hours
$600.00 USD
We spend an entire extra hour picking along the boulder fields at the base of the wall. Cat sharks and two types of unusual lobsters are commonly spotted. Doing this dive in the evening increases the chance of seeing more bizarre creatures as they come up from deeper water to feed.
2000ft/610m
3 1/2 Hours
$800.00 USD
We have finally made it to the land of perpetual darkness. This region of the ocean covers more than half the planet. The animals here have never known daylight nor season. Many of the creatures date back before the dinosaurs. Fish encountered include jelly-nosed eels, rough sharks, and chimera.
Lophelia Reef Dive
1500ft/460m
4 Hours
$1200.00 USD
Lophelia coral is believed to cover more area than shallow coral reefs; however, since it is found deeper than even technical divers dare venture, few people have ever seen this splendid marine habitat.
A journey on Idabel to the Lophelia Reef is the "grand tour": we go past the six-gill feeding station, a 110-foot-long shipwreck, and, after a mile of sub-sea travel, arrive at an oasis of deep (1200-1500ft/365-460m) sea coral.
