Jason's Wall - Utila

Jason's Wall is a Utila staple, and for good reason. It's a great drift dive, the kind where you drop in and let the current do some of the work, gliding past dramatic overhangs and crevices. We've often spotted green sea turtles here, sometimes resting, sometimes cruising the wall. Look for the Pedersen shrimp cleaning stations and spotted drums tucked into the nooks; there’s always something interesting if you take your time. Barracuda and king mackerel hang out in the blue, and we’ve even had a few eagle ray fly-bys. It's a reliable dive for all levels, offering a relaxed drift with plenty to observe.
