100 ft Mound
Seamount mooring listed by the Roatán Marine Park on the open water between Roatán/Utila and Cayos Cochinos; the listed depth of about 30 m is the top or mooring depth. Operators describe the seamounts, about 18 miles from West End, as coral formations with large schools of fish and dive them as boat trips; Undercurrent's Bay Islands guide also names the Cayos Cochinos seamounts as a favourite.
