Underwater in Utila

Have spent 4 days in Utila with beautiful sunny skies and clear turqouise water. I have finished the class for my open water scuba certificate which was fun although marred somewhat by problems equalizing my ears and a really painful sinus problem on the last day which forced me to end a dive early. Hope to get some underwater photos up here at some point.



Utila is to diving what Santa Theresa is to surfing. The crowd is slightly different but there is the same contingent of semi-permanent visitors trying to make ends meet so they can stay indefinitely while they get in as much dive time as they can.



There is really only one main road through town, so you tend to bump into the same people from day to day which makes the town seem very friendly. Overall a very mellow place with some beautiful thatched-roof bars over the water to have a drink at in the evening with a sea breeze.
