We had a fantastic trip to Utila in July! We swam with dolphins and a whale shark and dove on gorgeous walls. Deep Blue Dive Resort is a great dive resort where the quality of diving is the focus of their business. It is small and intimate with owners living on site -- a great place to stay. For a complete trip report and slide show, see:

(warning -- the slide show is a big file and lasts about 10 minutes)
 
How many people did they put on thier boat and what size was the boat? Was there in May and went with a cattle boat operator, my mistake! Like the island and will go back sometime but need a new dive op.
 
The week we were there, there were 6 divers (including us) staying at the lodge, so it was just us and the divemasters on board all week -- it was great! I know they have other boats that run out of their dive shop in town but I don't know anything about them. Our boat was about 40' long -- partly covered and partly open. The only negative is that it is not a very fast boat and it's a long ride to the northern sites.
Steve & Jasmine are very customer-oriented and I can't imagine they'd every let the boats become over-crowded and operate "cattle-boat" style.
We highly recommend Deep Blue -- we plan on returning to Utila sometime as well and will definitely stay with them again.
 
Thanks may give them a shot the next time.
