Palmetto Keyhole

★★★★☆ (145)

Characteristic of channels you’ll find on Roatan, Key Hole offers you an impressive display of topography with overhangs to explore. You will begin your dive at about 30ft and the reef walls guide you into the channel.

We expect to find butterflyfish, fan worms, small leaf hanging vines and star coral. Soft corals such as plumes and rods as well as schools of black durgon and yellowtail snapper are also visible.
