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.
