Given it’s name because of a large population of a Black Groupers that used to hang around in this area, sadly no longer here. It is situated about 45 minutes form the main hub.

On the East-northeast side about 20 mins from the main dive centers, this dive site consists of 3 reefs, shoreline, the middle reef, and an outer reef running parallel to the middle reef. A very scenic route with overhangs, caverns, and smaller caves make this a wonderful dive site.

Located 10 minutes East from the main Utila Harbor, you will find Big Bight. This dive site can be identified from the surface by noticing a beach covered with Larger washed up pieces of coral.The beach itself is protected on either end by sharp lava rocks with jagged edges and steep walls coming out of the water.

This is a great shore dive. Rough, rocky entry with some surge to contend with. Once in, the dive is full of vibrant coral and sea fans. Max depth is about 18 meters.

Rocky Point is a sloping wall that turns more shear as you proceed east along the wall. Depths in excess of 40 meters are possible. A great site for Extended Range training. Also a nice dive to drift toward the west.

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.

A south side dive site offering a sandy bottom at about 60ft. The east slopping wall has depths to over 100 ft. The western side is shallower at 60ft.

Bando Beach has a mild sloping wall that drops to about 18 meters to the sand. This is a great site in foul weather because it is closer and possibly calmer than other sites. This site is best for new divers but divers of all experience levels can enjoy.

Linda’s Wall is a south-side dive site, not as well know as other dives. The wall here is beautiful and covered with a spectacular rainbow of hard and soft corals. Easy access makes this a great site to visit.

6 passenger single engine plane that went down in 2021. All passengers survived. Sits in about 24 meters of water. Not much around it but interesting to see. Laying flat on the bottom.
