Chances of seeing whale shark are variable as ever - even more so from Roatan than from Utila. But at the right time your can see them every day for several days or encounter several in a single trip - often with mobula rays, the occasional manta, and dolphins around at the same time. I ask...

Absolutely correct. I don't think the OP understands the remit of a divemaster and therein lies a common problem and one that may actually have some kind of legal footing (those with legal knowledge could tell me yay or nay to that?). The problem as I see it is two fold. The first and very...

Does anyone here have experience of using QR codes (the 2D bar codes)? Successful or not. Most of my market is transient con-ed sold on the spot, immediately following a previous class, or not sold at all. Most customers do not stay more than 2 weeks. Most of my customers do little to no...

Hi - first have fun with the DM program, I'm sure you will. Second, yes you are over thinking things! :) You will be able to get what you need. You might not get the exact brands you want, so if you're fussy about that kind of thing then fill your bags up with the brand names you think are...

The bank is suspicious of dollars in general. There are many forged 20's in CA, it seems that is the most forged note. We had the bank refuse a few 20's and 50's that we had accepted because the borders looked odd. They passed every test we had but still one border was thicker than the other...

I would love to be able to afford a dedicated marketing employee to work on web content and social media, or even to understand how to figure out how many sales our social media brings us so I could know if that person pays for themselves. I am getting close to making social media part of the...

Hey :) Not that I want to give the impression that we don't have some good times - we try and strike a balance between the backpacker and the more experienced diver. Something any dive shop on this island has to try and do. And of course you can't please all the people all time, but I try my...

Lighthouse is a good choice I recommend bay view rooms on the top floor. Bigger, better views and no over head footsteps at night. As for Alton's being a party dive center - it always puzzles me this reputation we have as we rarely hold evening events. In fact the last staff meeting the crew...

I am assuming this is about spear fishing with scuba (we are on scubaboard!). I see at least four "philosophical" or at least moral aspects to this question and only two addressed so far. I'll deal with them in no particular order. 1) A healthy reef should be teaming with fish. If it isn't it...

I think it would be a great idea especially when that could be coupled with the promotion of reef friendly sun blocks. There is the Utila Dive Festival in August - I wonder if you could get something involved with that Utila Dive Festival 2012 Have you spoken with sun block companies? Perhaps...

All depends how independent or looked after you want to be... Read up on the islands of Utila, Guanaja and Roatan and make a decision on which one you'd like to visit. It is comfortably possible to visit Roatan & Utila in 7 days but travel between the two will cost you best part of a day unless...

This is how I understand the situation... and it's not about tourist dollars. If I am wrong I would be happy to hear the correct version! Very sensibly all spear fishing for any species is banned under congressional law in Honduras. Spear fishing tends to be very selective and takes the biggest...

I send a medical statement off to potential customers because it is better customer service and it also will increase my business. The doctor here is very conservative when it comes to clearing due to a lack of medical facility. So any doubt in his mind and he doesn't clear. The upshot of that...

I have been trying to find some research available to read online. Having little success, but found a couple of things. It has all made me think that there is far less published formal research on this problem than most of us think. I couldn't find anything on initial recruitment of lion fish...

To follow a similar pattern to other posters... No there is nothing you can do about it - it is essentially your own fault Yes it is incredibly bad customer service - but you can't sue for poor service (although sometimes I wish you could) It never ceases to amaze me how many people rock into...

about 27/28c or 80 to 84f

We are possibly noticing fewer lionfish on dives than before. But if you visit a rarely dived locations (remoter, deeper or too shallow) we see as many as ever. It seems as if they have figured out that diveable locations are not good ones to hang out in if you're a lionfish.

Like everyone said occasionally but very very rare - there was one filmed several years ago in tuna boil by a dive boat out whale sharking some miles off the north shore of Utila.

Utila south-east shore (Tradewinds area) private villas which can be with road access to the small town of Utila (20 to 40 minute walk away from town depending on property so golf cart or bicycle hire recommended) or more isolated along the south shore requiring boat access to town. Take a look...
