Finally got done processing my Utila dives, except for the night dive that I can't seem to find on any of my cards. Awesome week at Deep Blue Utila. Steve, Jasmine and Shirley kept us fed and diving all day every day. Utila has a beautiful reef, marked with a mooring line about every 100 yards all the way around the Island. There are no bad ones. Most include some shallow reef and fall off to at least 80-100 feet. Some keep going to over 2000 feet (and I swear, you could almost see the bottom). The water was a constant 82 degrees, and vis ranged from a slightly cloudy 30-50, and average of about 70-100 and in the deep Ocean areas, 2-300 feet of clear blue water. Amazing variety of Corals, hard and soft, Sponges, and Critters from tiny to Pelagic Giants. And we got a Whale Shark-out of season-but not till the 4th day. Here's a fair sampling of what we saw on day one. Sites were Big Rock, Teds Point and Black Coral Wall.
