Why dive here
With 168+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles, whale sharks and pufferfish - Utila offers some of Roatán's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Utila, the little sister of the Bay Islands, really does deliver on variety. We've seen whale sharks cruise by during our surface interval, but even without that big ticket, the diving here is consistently solid. You get everything from easy shallow reefs, perfect for shaking off the rust, to deeper walls and pinnacles where the action picks up. Visibility is generally excellent, often pushing 30 meters, and with minimal current at most sites, it’s a comfortable dive for anyone, from their first open water dives to seasoned regulars. Black Hills is an incredible sea mount...
