Silverside Spawning Season (Guanaja)
16° 27.0′ N · 85° 52.4′ W · approximate
From May to July, millions of silversides spawn around Guanaja, and their young fill the swim-throughs and caverns in schools that part around divers and close in behind them.
Practical
Placed at Dunbar Rock (OSM, approx) as a reference — the schools gather in caverns all around the island. Dunbar Rock describes the spawning May-July, with fry hatching five to 20 days later; Clark's Cay lists silversides at Black Rock Canyon and Jim's Silverlode. Also the start of the rainy and hurricane seasons — watch the weather.
