Amazing aquatic life on Utila in Honduras! Utila is one of the Bay Islands, in the mesmerizing Caribbean Sea.
It is famous for its diving and it is famous for being one of the cheapest places to dive in the world. Beautiful underwater landscapes, amazing sea life AND great adventures.
We spent a week diving in Utila with Alton's Dive Center. This is by far one of the best dive centers I've ever been diving with. They are sooooooo well organized. They are also very very very safety focused, with good briefings, safety checks, roll call and great safety procedures and communication. All dives done were at least 60 mins, which is really important to me as I hate those 40-45 mins dives. I'm used to shore diving and we regularly do dives of 70-90 mins, sometimes longer, so less than an hour feels very short.
The resort is very comfortable and has some nice rooms. The rooms are only 30 meter away from the dive boats and the place where you can have breakfast. So you can roll out of bed, have a really good coffee and some breakfast next to the boat and then just hop on the boat. Very hassle free. For each day you do two dives, you get the accommodation for free. We paid 65 USD for two dives, including all equipment rental. With the exception of Pulau Weh in Indonesia (which was a really basic setup), this is the cheapest diving we've ever encountered.
