Utila Coral Reef - Bay Islands, Honduras

About 25 feet (8 m) under the clear Caribbean water off Utila, in the Bay Islands (Islas de la Bahía) of Honduras, this camera sits on top of a reef wall, where wrasse, sergeant majors and trumpetfish swim among the corals.

Utila's reefs mark the southern end of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef system in the world. More than 80 dive sites ring the island, and whale sharks are sometimes seen in the waters offshore.

The island covers about 17 square miles (45 sq km) and has around 5,200 people. English, French and Dutch pirates once used the Bay Islands as bases for raiding Spanish treasure ships, and tales of buried pirate gold still circulate.

Did You Know? Utila's highest point, Pumpkin Hill, is an old volcanic cone just 243 feet (74 m) tall.
