Roatán, Bay Islands, Honduras
Pollytilly Bight is a south-shore Roatán dive in the bight between West Bay and Brick Bay, with mooring access controlled by the Roatán Marine Park. The dive begins on a sandy shelf at 6 to 10 meters scattered with hard-coral heads and follows a slope down to roughly 25 meters before the deeper wall descends out of recreational range. The shallows are decorated with brain coral, lettuce coral, pillar coral and sea rods, and the deeper slope hosts large barrel sponges, rope sponges and clusters of black coral. The wider sandy areas are patrolled by southern stingrays, peacock flounders, garden eels and yellowhead jawfish. Reef fauna along the slope includes hawksbill turtle, queen and grey angelfish, schooling French and bluestriped grunt, spotted moray, midnight parrotfish, juvenile spotted drum and creole wrasse. Spotted eagle ray fly-bys are common. Visibility runs 18 to 25 meters.
