Narrated 4K-HD video of a submarine dive off Half Moon Bay, Roatan, Honduras, to 2000 ft. in the Caribbean Sea. This vertical transect from the deep sea through the mesophotic zone to shallow reefs shows how benthic communities change with depth. At this site, benthic cover, including sponges, is low below 200 ft (61 m), or mid-mesophotic zone. Points of interest include:
- dive gear of an intentional suicide from 30 years ago (08:15)
- lionfish at 500 ft (07:30), the deepest shallow-water fish species seen
