Any ideas for nice dive focused Utila dive op for people that want to dive?
We have scheduled 2 weeks in late August & early September in Honduras with the first week being Cocoview on Roatan and the second week was supposed to be Laguna Beach Resort on Utila. The idea was to take an extra week and dive a little less intensely than our normal very liveaboard pack-it-all-in-a-week vacation. The second week was really for rest and relaxation and a few dives.
Our travel agent just informed us that Laguna Beach Resort is closing and can not host us - but they have offered "luxury" villa lodgings combined with the same dive boat operation staff option. The villa offering appears to be a very nice single villa with a personal chef. $$$$. Not really our thing.
This would be our second week of diving, so we do not need 5 dives a day. 1 morning and 1 night may be enough when we reach Utila? We really do not care about above water entertainment (we do know about the flies!)
Things we love:
- bonaire freedom
Things we hate:
- mandatory group dives with the DM
- cluster dives
- short dives
- long boat rides
My very short investigation reveals Utopia Village as a potential replacement and a large hate for anything located close enough to town to hear the backpackers partying in the bars after it gets dark...
ideas...
P.S. Worst case we would do 2 weeks on Roatan. So suggestions for some options there are welcome...
