Our Divers
Fishing season in Honduras runs for July to February of each year. So, we are busy harvesting and drying, and storing our sea moss for the market. When people ask how we chose Roatan as a location, we have a very simple answer: Deep water close to shore. There are very few places in the world that have such immediate access to deep water. When you factor in the need for calm seas, a lack of strong currents, accessibility to nutrient rich deep water, you are left with very few places that are usually already in use by other commercial shipping or military operations. In fact, 1000 ft from West Bay Beach, there are water depths of 1000 Ft.
Deep Sea Water contains many types of minerals, such as Mg, Ca, Cl, Na, K, Se, and Vn. In fact, DSW is more abundant in minerals compared to surface seawater, where Wild-crafted Sea moss is grown. The example of the difference between the amount of minerals among surface seawater and DSW is substantial, as shown in Table 1 - Table 2 (2016 Samihah Zura Mohd Nani etal). DSW is a good nutrient source for sea moss and could be claimed as a nutrient’s provider, since the minerals contained inside it provide many benefits to the health of the sea moss, hence, its abundance.
