  The reliable encounters are off Utila, an hour west by boat, where the shelf drops into deep water and the boils bring plankton up. Roatan gets occasional sightings on the north shore; late February to April is the run.

  Dry season on the reef

  1 mar – 31 aug

  March through August is the settled half: the wind drops, the north-shore walls hold their visibility, and boats run every morning. August is the hot, still end of it, when the surface goes glassy.

  Coral spawning nights

  20 aug – 25 sep · vanligtvisDyksäsong
