    Utila for a diver on her own

    Does anyone have a recomendation for dive shop for a female, diver on her own?I will be staying for 2 months out past the beach at Blue Bayou, and want a dive shop to too far away, i'm also looking for a place that's not all "gung-ho" "macho" divers, a place that would probally have other older ,gal divers.Thanks

    Try Ecomarine, they are close to Blue Bayou and well run by Tex, or if you don't mind a walk/bike ride then Cross Creek are a very small, friendly dive center run by Neil.

    The suggestion by Andy is a good one. Since you are staying that far out Tex is the first best bet. Hopefully we'll see you there. We intend to be there during the same time frame.

    if so, it is a great bid. very nice bloke!

    Hi

    Yes that is the same Tex, he is no longer on the island, I heard from him a couple of days ago and he is travelling in India at the moment.

    I don't know what you mean by older, but in Utila the crowd is very young. However, it is not gung ho at all. This is primarily because the island is really a huge dive school. Relax, you are going to love it. It is possible to walk into any shop and pay $45 (plus $3 reef fee per day) to try them out with a 2 tank morning dive. When you find one you like a ten pack is $200. Nearly all of then charge the same amount.

    Are you planning to do a DM course? If so, PM me.
