Scuba Travel Ventures, Inc. - Honduras - Utila

While the mainland of this Central American country has, lately, been embroiled in political turmoil, Honduras’s Bay Islands of Roatan and Utila, on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, in the Caribbean Sea, are very far removed from it.

Off Utila, big seamounts, barrel sponges and caves characterize the dive sites, where turtles and tropical fish are plentiful. If you’ve got your mind set on a whale shark encounter, they usually show up off Utila’s north side, between March and May, and again from August through October. Also, for novice divers, Utila remains one of the world’s most inexpensive places to get scuba certified.

Scuba Travel Ventures can accommodate you on either island with resort properties that best fit your needs, desires and budget.
