Black Hills
★★★★☆
(1,184)
Seamound found off the southeast corner of Utila. The top of the mound is at about 10 meters and can drop to 40+ meters depending on which side you are on. Currents can be strong on both the surface and underwater.
Large schools of spadefish and jacks are common here. Great place to look for lionfish as well. Coral is healthy and abundant.
