Through an unexpected turn of events I have found myself on an island. Yes, an island that takes about 30 minutes to ride a bicycle around. Not the best place for a cyclists, but one of the best places in the world to get my Dive Masters Scuba Certification.
For non-divers, it is the necessary course needed to take paying customers out on chartered diving boats. I have already completed my Emergency First Responder and Rescue Diver courses this past week and am looking forward to the next 2 months or so becoming more familiar with diving and working in a dive shop. Utila is a small island in the once British Bay of Islands off the coast of Honduras. It is well known for it's amazing diving, snorkeling and whale shark sightings. Already I've seen dolphins, eagle rays and an abundance of tropical fish and corals. The ocean water temperature is a warmer than most of the 'showers' on the island at a bathtub like temperature of 30C. No wetsuits needed here! Will post some photos later this week!
