Highlights:
Drop off wall over 300 metres, pelagic creatures passing zone
DIVE BRIEF: This is one of Utila's most impressive sites, especially when the water is clear. With a wall that runs to a depth of almost 300 metres, it makes your descent over the plateau feel like your jumping off a cliff with a parachute. The sensation of its depth is unforgettable. The buoy site is at 8 metres on an extensive plateau where a diver will see many different types of brain coral. East of the plateau you will spot a deep sand channel (17 metres) that is often visited by the Great Barracuda and the occasional Nurse Shark.
