UTILA

Utila, which is one of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras, has a mystical presence about it. Don't judge this island at first glance. Appearances may portray it as a bit rusty, but you will soon be proven wrong.You roam the rocky streets barefoot as you pass hippies, divers, crates of recycled bottles, and if you are lucky-- a local Utilian. The main road is lined with countless dive shops and the Caribbean coast. Though it is a place that may be overlooked on a map, it is embedded in my time line of "Best Adventures Ever".

Wanderlust started our morning with 2 dives as we joined the amazing Underwater Vision dive shop. The water was transparent and the fish were glowing. Our second dive site was called the Airport Caye's. The never ending coral surrounded us as it quickly uncovered the sea life. An amazing spotted eagle ray gracefully flew past me and i chased him until he faded into blue. My diving buddy, Tim, looked constantly amazed, even through his spit encrusted goggles. This was his first time diving and his reaction to the experience made my entire trip worth while. His gratefulness to our trip just reassured me that I was truly following my passion in life. Thanks Tim.
