Blackish Point

Blackish Point is one of our favourite spots in Roatán, despite the name's slightly morbid origins and the lack of its namesake groupers these days. It’s a bit of a trip to get out here, about 45 minutes from West End, but we always feel it’s worth the journey. The reef here, topping out at 21m, is a fantastic place to slow down and really look. We often find Robertson's Blennies peeking out of holes, and the Saddled Blennies are everywhere, bobbing their heads. The visibility, usually around 29m, makes it easy to spot the subtle colours of the reef, from huge midnight parrotfish grazing the corals to the brilliant blues of doctorfish schools. We've spent many an hour here just watching the lionfish gently swaying, sometimes finding a chain moray tucked away. Keep an eye out for those massive spiny lobsters too; they really blend into the reef. It’s a perfect dive for those who love macro life and aren’t in a rush, a proper slow wander.
