hibiscus with fungus ?

Hello,
I have attached a picture of my hibiscus. It has dark spots on many leaves and some are turning yellow then brown then dying. I am assuming it is a fungus, but I'm sure someone here knows better.
Does anyone know how I can remedy this problem? should I just get an anti-fungal and spray it on?
thanks!

Hi from Hawaii
Hibiscus fungal diseases usually do not show up as spots. It wasn't very easy to see the spots in your picture. I have enclosed a link to ctahr web site.
I think the spots may be bacterial instead of fungal.
