10 April Diving Utila


Our first morning of 'fun' dives with Paradise Divers took us around to the more sheltered north side of the island for a wall dive and our second dive a shallower reef back on the south and west end. Next day the weather was more settled and we dive an offshore pinnacle and a reef close to the land where David found a seahorse and a species of ray neither of us has seen before. It was a yellow ray, pretty mottled marking and about the size of a blue spotted ray.
On the third, and our last day out, we went back to the north side to dive another site on the big wall and this time we were joined by a curious nurse shark. The last dive was a disappointment – we had been going to go back for the seahorse but the buoy had disappeared and we changed to a lesser site near light house reef. Too much sand in the water reduced visibility and enjoyment.
We did enjoying diving with the young crowd; their enthusiasm and energy is infectious.
