Enjoy this video dive tour of Cordelia Banks, south of the island of Roatan, one of the few remaining back-reef coral gardens left in the Caribbean. The site is dominated by large mounds of lettuce coral with thickets of staghorn coral and occasional elkhorn outcrops. These amazing stands of living coral are less than 2 km from Roatan's largest town, airport and cruise ship harbors.
Note the very large example of the dark olive green sponge Neopetrosia rosariensis at 7:00.
