Red Cliff

★★★★★ (84)

Red Cliffs is another super dive off of the Southern side (southeastern) end of Utila Island in Honduras. A wall of red hard and soft corals gives the sight its name and this is a very popular site also because it is so quickly and easily reached by boat.

The typical marine life here is, of course, Red Corals, boxfish, lionfish, eels, and groupers. Keep an eye on the sand for rays.
