Practical

The coordinate is the Wannadive site (precision listed as 'approximate'); OpenStreetMap shows Big French Key at 16.35152, -86.44465 and Little French Key at 16.35223, -86.44286. Wannadive lists a 21 m average and 40 m maximum depth, no current, wall, deep and reef, for advanced divers, with boat traffic as a hazard. French Cay Harbour is a Roatán Marine Park reserve: no taking of any marine life, and the RMP dive buoys aren't for yachts. Dive with an operator or by dinghy only where permitted.
