About Palmetto Keyhole
Palmetto Keyhole is a channel-style Roatan dive with prominent reef topography and overhangs to explore. Reef walls guide the route into the channel, where hard and soft coral growth holds butterfly fish, snapper, triggerfish, barracuda, and other reef life. It suits divers who like a structure-led dive that rewards calm buoyancy and an easy, exploratory pace.
