    Diving is the same only different.

    A short airlplane ride.
    I think it is about 10 minutes if that.

    I dove Utila last April. I did see a whale shark.
    They had been seeing them almost daily in the weeks before my group got there.
    Life's too short to always color inside the lines

    I am going to Utila in March...and hoping to see whale sharks!! We are staying and diving with Deep Blue which I have only read and heard amazing things about...
    It is the season for Whale sharks in March/April so those are definatley the most ideal times.
    I have been to Roatan twice, but this will be my first time to Utila. I think if you are looking for the whale shark sighting as your main goal then Utila it is. Roatan is a great place to dive as well, and you can't go wrong either way!!
    Enjoy and maybe I will see you down there!!
