    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Blackish Point on Roatán offers a gentle drift along a healthy wall, starting shallow and gradually deepening. We often see schools of creole wrasse here, and if you keep an eye on the sand flats, stingrays are a common sight. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, good for photographers or anyone looking for an easy second or third tank.
