Utila Utila Island is one of the Bay Islands in the Caribbean Sea, thirty kilometers off the coast of Honduras. It is 11 kilometers long and 4 kilometers wide at its widest point. Utila's only town is in East Harbor and has about 3000 permanent inhabitants. English is the dominant language here, though most residents are bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish. The main industry in Utila these days is tourism related, and it is known as THE place to learn how to dive for international backpackers due to the relatively inexpensive prices charged on the island for diving. The world's second largest reef system extends to the Bay Islands, and abundant sealife surrounds the waters around the island. Combine this with crystal blue 85 degree Fahrenheit (30 degree Celsius) water, visiblity of 100 to 150 feet (30 to 50 meters) and you can see why so many people have come here to learn diving.

| Airlines are changing their schedules frequently. Always reconfirm
directly with the airline at least 24 hours in advance to be sure of
times and weather conditions. Always make sure to read the supplier
booking and cancellation policies. If you book a vacation either on-line or by calling in you need to be aware that various cancellation penalties are imposed by airlines, vacation companies and us. They get bigger the closer you get to the trip. |
