About Mary’s Place
FEATURES:
Large Crevices
Black Coral
Swim-through
Mary's Place is located off of the southern shore of Roatan, near French Harbour, in an area called Brick Bay. The site's call to fame is its impressive vertical crevices, which were formed by ancient volcanic activity.
The crevices can reach depths of 36 meters (120 feet). Mary's Place is arguably Roatan's most famous dive site. The site is a plateau, shaped like an elbow, with the shallow end at 30 ft, while the tip of the elbow sits at 60 ft.
The most impressive feature of Mary's Place is its majestic Reef Walls, which form a trench through which scuba divers can swim through. The dive site is shaped by intricate crevices that cut through the plateau. These crevices are as wide as 10 ft wide. Along the walls of Mary's Place, crevices are overhangs filled with beautiful Bushy and Feather Black Coral along with gorgonians that have adapted to this marine environment.
The Outside eastern wall of Mary's Place has colonies of deepwater sea fans, which feed off of the passing current. You'll also find Fire Worms, massive Barrel Sponge, and a few sandy patches.
Mary's Place is also one of the best places to see colonies of Bushy and Feather Black Coral. There is also wire coral protruding and adorning the walls, which make for some of the best swim-through crevices in the entire Caribbean.
Scuba Divers Lunch
Add a Divers Lunch to your scuba package and your Access fee to LFK will be waved.
That’s right, as a perk to being a Scuba Diver, the Little French Key management has agreed to wave the admission fee to divers who dive with the Scuba Shop. Visiting LFK after a long day’s dive is one of the most relaxing things to do.
Little French Key staff will set aside a Scuba Divers table, and meals are ready for each diver as soon as they return from a dive. Pamper yourself with the Divers Lunch.
