Dive the Bay Islands with Ken Nichols & Pat Johnson

Thirty miles off the coast of Honduras lies a collection of beautiful mountainous islands, Roatan, Guanaja and Utilla. Collectively known as the Bay Islands, this unspoiled underwater paradise boasts some of the Western Caribbean's finest diving. Lush reefs, sheer walls and mystical wrecks are home to a vast array of marine life large and small-turtles, eels, grouper, sea horses, frog fish and nudibranches. The Bay Islands' abundance of colorful, tiny critters has earned her the nickname "Macro Capital of the World" by underwater photographers. The enchantment of the Bay Islands is further enhanced by the crew and amenities aboard the 120-foot live-aboard, the Bay Islands Aggressor IV.
