Location description: Scuba diving, and the treasures to be found below the surface of the clear blue waters of the Caribbean sea, has been Utila`s main attraction for more then ten years. Caves, crevices, 400 meter walls and wrecks. Whale Shark spotting, a favorite pastime for anyone visiting Utila. Climbing into the water alongside the biggest fish on the planet must be on every divers `top-ten-things-to-do` list and the largest number of sponges in the Caribbean makes Utila and the Bay Islands, one of the most desirable diving destinations in the world.
The Caribbean island of Utila is one of three in a group of islands called the Bay Islands found just off the coast of Honduras in Central America, the other two being Roatan and Guanaja. It is the second largest island being about seven miles long and three miles wide. It is less developed than its larger and better known neighbour Roatan and has a unique culture which is friendly and welcoming. The true Utilians speak English (well a version of) as their primary language and of course Spanish as the islands are now owned by Honduras.
The Caribbean island of Utila is made up of mangroves, forestry and dry lands which cover approximately 90% of this tropical island. It is rich with indigenous wild life and beautiful mangrove orchids. The only town is built around a natural harbour on the south east end of the island.
The extensive reefs of Utila make an all inclusive scuba diving vacation an exciting and varied experience with over 70 buoyed sites around the island to choose from. Diving on the north side of Utila is awe inspiring with sheer walls dropping to over 1000 mtrs (3000ft) with amazing coral growth on top of the wall. There is always the chance of seeing dolphins, manta rays and many of the other large pelagic creatures that inhabit the Caribbean, including of course, the largest of them all, the whale shark. With the extensive macro life, a photographer and videographers dream. The south side of Utila consists mainly of shallow fringing reefs, the top of the reef at around 5 mtrs (15ft) dropping down to between 30-40 mtrs (100-120ft). The reefs here are a mix of small walls with good overhangs and many sites with really pretty spur and groove formations. Some of our favourite visitors to the south shore are eagle rays and turtles. There are also 4 sea mounds approximately 1-3 miles from the Utila coastline. The tops begin at around 10 mtrs (33ft) and they drop to the ocean floor. The reefs are stunning with lots of soft coral and the chance of seeing the larger pelagic species. Dive trips will include a wreck dive, drift dives and of course, the ever popular night dives. Unlimited shore diving is also available from the resort beach on some of the best south side dive sites.
