Recently I spent a month on the island of Utila, off the North coast of Honduras, while I was there I decided to finally get my open water cert. The island has many dive shops to choose from, it can make you dizzy trying to decide, lucky for me I met a gentleman on the way down the hill from the airfield and we began talking about good places to for me to start my diving experience, he named a few, but he described one with great enthusiasm which stuck in my head.... Deep Blue Divers. After about a week on the island, getting settled and all, it was time. I walked into Deep Blue and instantly felt at home. They are dedicated to what they do, and not worried about having a party scene just to get you in there or any other shifty gimmicks, it's all about learning to dive and having a great time with great people. The atmosphere, regardless of below or above water, is relaxed and unpretentious. I ended up not only doing my open water but also the advanced and many other dives after that. I can't thank the group at Deep Blue enough!!!
