Scuba Diving In Utila with Alton's Dive Centre
Utila is a small island off the coast of Honduras. It is one of the three Bay Islands. Warm water, abundant coral, and beautiful fish make it a scuba diver's dream. Low cost of living, warm weather year-round, a non-touristy feel, and close-knit community make it a haven for backpackers and ex-patriots alike.
A five-day, ten-dive package with Alton's Dive Center costs $300.00. This includes two morning boat dives each day on Utila's pristine North Side, looking for whale sharks and dolphins during surface intervals, excellent and enthusiastic dive masters, and backpacker-style accommodations. It also includes use of kayaks, hammocks, swimming off of the double-decker dock, use of the bar, a weekly sunset Booze Cruise, and a community kitchen, all within a friendly, fun atmosphere. Alton's is located at the eastern edge of Utila Town, with easy access to taxis, restaurants, bars, and shopping.
Note for the end of the clip: Lion Fish are an invasive species of of venomous fish, native to the Pacific. In the Caribbean, they have no natural predators and are detrimental to the ecosystem. Thanks to the diligence of dive masters with spears, the population of Lion Fish has been kept in check and are actually declining along Utila's south and eastern shores.

Utila, Cheapest Diving In The World (Bay Islands, Honduras)
There is some amazing scuba diving to be done on the Bay Islands in Honduras. Utila has some of the healthiest reefs ever.
Luckily, it is one of the cheapest places to dive in the world. It has very clear bright blue water which entices you to stay there forever.
Our dive master actually arrived 7 months ago with the idea to do a course and never left. During the 8 days of diving in Utila, we saw so much amazing things underwater, including frog fish, sea horses, ghost pipe fish, nudibranches, rays, banded shrimps, gaudy clown crab, etc.
We would highly recommend staying at Alton's Dive Center as they are sooooo well organized. Everything is executed to perfection and they are very serious about safety. The accommodation (that is free when you are diving) is a 30 meter stumble to the dive boat. On the way to the dive boat you can pick up a coffee (cheap and amazing) and some breakfast.
During the evenings it is nice and quiet here so you can relax. Or you can take a 3 min stroll to some of the great bars that are close by.
