Sibun Bar
Why dive here
With 210+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Sibun Bar offers some of Utila's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest June, August, September.
Sibun Bar sits on Utila’s south side, a healthy patch of coral that often gets overlooked for some of the flashier sites. We usually drift along the wall here, keeping an eye out for the resident great barracuda that likes to hang around the deeper sections. You’ll spot plenty of angelfish and parrotfish grazing, and we’ve had good luck finding blennies peeking out of holes in the coral if you slow down and look closely. It’s a relaxed dive, good for easing into the day or a chilled-out afternoon, and it’s usually pretty calm, making it a solid choice for newer divers.
