More diving
Utila is a lot more busy than tyhe Corn Islands and I arrived here just after Sun Jam so there wasn't much accommodation. It's a very touristy place with pretty much the entire island catering to travelers. I did my advanced open water here with Bay ...
Last post
Well, this is our last day on the island of Utila - we are being treated to a couple of nights in a lovely house right on the water at the other end of town but sadly Jonnie has now come down with the bug I had or food poisoning, we're not sure which. We ...
Beautiful Island
... hours later were in Utila. A steamy and muggy laid back island. We spent the rest of the day reading by the poolside and munching on local food. That evening we had some of the best pizza ever! Who would have though good pizza could be found in ...
Day 4 - 6
3rd to the 5th August – Day 4 through to 6 Having consumed the whole bottle of rum, followed by a night out with the crew, it's fair enough to say my head wasn’t in a great place when I woke up. Being in for 7am was a killer, but it was a ...
No Free T Shirt
An expensive ferry later and I was on Utila. Not planning ahead I had decided ti work out what to do when I got there. But after meeting and talking to a scouser on the boat and after spending about half an hour on the island I realised there wasn´t much ...
Scuba baby
... and new dive buddies as well. Have met some more Argentininan guys including Juan in my scuba group too so speaking more Spanish. Utila is great. There´s a lot of solo travellers here so everyone is very friendly and groups get made to go out for dinner ...
Days 37 and 38
6th and 7th September - Day 37 and 38 Monday I sat in a class room all day learning crap on Decompression Theory, Physics and Physiology. This took up my whole day. That is all! Tuesday morning I sat in a class room all morning learning crap on ...
Roatan and Utila
Hola chicos! How happy am I? This place is incredible. Imagine a beautiful tropical island with loads of partying tourists and a real leedle sense of community, 3 dollar a night accom, add in some excellent diving, good company and a bar job at ...
Honduras - ruins and diving
... and catch up with my sleep. The quickest way into Honduras was actually to head back into Guatemala and then across to Honduras so I had two (relatively painless) border crossings to deal with. And it meant I got another Guatemala stamp in my ...
Worst mosquitos EVER
I helped with morning feeding/diet prep and cleaning with the other scheduled volunteers and then had a day trip out with Andrea, Mike, Hugh, and Marc. We all donned some pretty sexy mosquito net hats and had to wear long sleeves and pants due to the ...
Dive 46 - Ted's Point
This dive was a night dive. My first night dive, and a part of my NAUI Advanced course. There were only 4 of us and the instructor Kris in the group so I actually felt a lot safer than I thought I would (especially without Richard being there). Kris ...
Day 36 and 37
4th and 5th September - Day 36 and 37 Saturday the 4th September 2010, the quietest I have ever seen UDC! With all of scuba school gone, the whole place felt very eerie and dead. With those guys gone though, I could now concentrate on completing my Dive ...
Days 26 and 27
25rd – 26th August - Day 26 and 27 Wednesday started with a well deserved lie in before heading to UDC for what I believed to be a fun dive. On the walk to the centre, which takes about 15 mins, I was told by one of the instructors walking the ...
Diving Caribbean
Diving.. I always wanted to try it, and I saw this as my chance. The Bay Islands I known as a cheap place to take you diving sertificate, and it's supposed to be a nice place to dive. Was it cheap? Kinda - It costed me 269 & which is cheap in ...
Unwinding in Utila
We finally leave Roatan and take Captain Vern's catamaran to Utila (a highly recommended way travelling – the 4 hour crossing costs us $50 each and we spend our time sunbathing in style). We listen to the advice of a friend and opt for Utila Water ...
Utilaaaa - A different language in the Carribean

Tauchen, tauchen, und noch mehr tauchen!
... bis spaet in den Morgen. Es wird getanzt, getrunken, und viel gelacht. Absolut witziger Abend und schoener Abschluss zu meiner Zeit auf Utila. In aller Frueh wache ich auf und schau entsetzt auf die Uhr: 10 vor 6. In einer halben Stunde geht meine ...
Dive 50 - Moon Hole
... and I had really wanted to practice my skills and get help with controlling my buoyancy. By this time it was my 7th dive in Utila (and 19th this summer) so my buoyancy wasn't actually that bad. The dive was still good though. We were back in Moon Hole as ...
Scheissende Fische und Ostern in Honduras
... und ja, auch die Ruinen waren schoen! Eine weitere Tagesreise spaeter kamen wir dann endlich auf Utila an, einer der drei Karibikinseln in der Bucht von Honduras. Nach Budget und Geschmack sortiert gibt es eine Insel fuer den Backpacker, eine fuer den ...
Utila Day 5
Woke up at around 5 after going to sleep at around 330am. Lazed around drinking water and processing the events of the previous night. At 7am got on the dive boat. I was not the only "sick" one. Was dive buddies with Sophie because of Emma's ear ...
Diving in Honduras
We travelled straight through Honduras and went to Utila in the Bay Islands off the North Coast. It was a shame to have to skip through most of the country because it looks amazing and the people are super friendly. However our time in Central ...
Dive 49 - Pinnacles
This one was the NAUI deep dive and what a good dive it was! Definitely the best on Utila so far. I didn't really have high hopes for a dive to 36m. I thought it would be dark, cold and we'd be stuck doing boring drills like with PADI, ...
Utila
From Roatan we took a catamaran to Utila - the cheaper of the Bay Islands. The catamaran was owned by an American guy called Vern who operated the service himself every day. We took a few beers on board and had a great time relaxing in the sun. We ...

leaving utila

My birthday is tomorrow!!!
Hello, friends, and thank you for stopping by, Kirstin and I have both manifested "jobs" to finance our extended stay in Utila. She works at the dive shop we've been diving at and I've fallen into a job as a daytime bartender at the Calibri Hill ...
Certified! but now we have to leave...
... a pedicure/manicure (just because its cheap). Tomorrow, we plan on taking the 620am ferry back to La Ceiba and we will spend a night in Honduras because our plane to Costa Rica leaves at 6:40 the next morning - so we should be in San Jose by 8am on 7/22. ...
