The diving
Thousands of travelers migrate to Utila island each year to do their initial course or continue their dive education to a higher level or even one of the PADI Pro-courses. You can’t help notice that special atmosphere of concentrated diving as soon as you touch land - Everybody talks diving! Being around so many divers have created the perfect learning environment and will inspire you in your own diving career. But be careful, many travelers arrive at Utila to do just one course, but ends up qualifying as instructors. It is easy getting enough experience on the island, as there is always a buddy to dive with and the diving is so special that you can easily dive here for weeks without getting tired.

The reefs are packed with life and the corals are in pristine condition. It is not uncommon for divers to play with manta rays, swim with dolphins and gasp with wonder as the biggest fish in the sea, the incredible whale shark, goes by.

Doing your Advanced Open Water course here will provide you with top education in a dynamic shop, it's the perfect excuse to explore the incredible reefs while altering your diving skills.
