Utila Travel Blogs

My last day on Utila. Today we did our two bonus dives. No course, no test, just diving. Despite these dives being outside the course Tim joined us today. He didn't have any students today, and he was looking forward to a fun dive again. We were joined on the boat by two others, of which one was …

My God, that was the craziest night I have had so far.  The barbecue started at the Utila Dive Centre where we paid 150 Lps for entry.  We got a plate of food (bbq chicken, salad, rice and mashed potatoes) and all-you-can-drink.  The bar was handing out quadruples so after about 5 I …

I flew into San Pedro Sula, which is on the mainland of Honduras. It was about 9pm and had to take a taxi to a hotel. I was scared shitless. I mean the whole way i was just waiting for the taxi driver to pull over and have a bunch of guys grab me out of the car and kill me. It was really scary. the…

Hooray for a week of fun in the sun and a little reunion with some old friends.  We arrived in Utila after a crazy crossed country journey that took about 12 hours and included 2 buses, a taxi and an hour ferry ride.  Our first night we visited the amazing TreeTanic bar, which is rea…

So maybe drinking vodka on the deck until the wee hours probably wasnt the best idea, but here i am preparing for my first dives in Honduras.  I have plenty of dive experience, but it is always screwing around with some friends, nothing formal.  Having said that, diving at Alton's is the …

week long SCUBA dive trip

Terese and I met Row and Sam and we headed to Bundu Cafe for breakfast. It was really delicious and I had hash browns, eggs, toast and a pineapple juice for a very decent price. Afterwards we went and checked the internet before taking a leisurely wander back to the hotel to relax. Eventually Row a…

We are now certified SCUBA divers! That means that we can dive anywhere we want, on our own to 18 metres...hmmm, that is a very scary thought! To be quite honest though, the hardest part was the qualifying swim. We had to demonstrate that we were safe in the water by swimming 200metres continuously…

First thing the next morning we went to the port in La Ceiba, to take the ferry to the Bay Islands - Utila Island.  And surprise surprise, it was raining!!  Lucky for us, though, the ferry actually left that day.  We got lucky because we weren´t expecting to see the ferry still ther…

My Utila experience.

I've been to central america twice now. Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. So much to see in such a small space, i can't wait to see the rest of it. I would say Belize is tied for my favorite dives so far.

Well many of my friends and family know that I was due to start my trip in Honduras, but due to the rudeness of the ousted president returning to his country post military coup and creating civil unrest in all major cities - I had no choice but to change my flight from San Pedro Sula…
