About Us

Who are we?

Mark is Australian born but lived in the United Kingdom for over 20 years. He holds a Batchelor Degree in Electronic Engineering and a Masters in Business Administration. He has been living in Utila since Feb 2003 and been working as a volunteer assisting Dr John McVay at the Utila Community Clinic, at the Utila Hyperbaric Chamber, and as a DiveMaster at the Bay Islands College of Diving. During his professional career Mark has held several senior management positions in Information Technology systems and services.
He now lives in semi-retirement in Sandy Bay, Utila, (opposite Kim & Troy Dilbert's house, the one with the big cement fence and the Rottweiler dogs).

What are we trying to do?

Our intention is to maintain an Internet Web Site dedicated to publicizing Utila & The Utila Cays to the world for the benefit of the people and businesses here in Utila.

Why do we think this web site is needed?

We believe that an increasing number of people plan their travel and vacations by using the Internet to research possible destinations. We also believe the greater the quality and quantity of information that is available on the Internet about a destination, the more likely people are to consider visiting that destination.

The major Dive Shops and Resorts in Utila have excellent Internet web sites and a high level of Internet exposure for their own business, but we feel that many other Utila businesses, organizations, and the whole of Utila in general would benefit from increased Internet publicity.

We also notice, that with the exception of the major Dive Shops and Resorts, most web sites containing information about Utila are run by people who do not live in Utila. While these web sites do contain some information about Utila, it is often limited, out of date, or just ‘gets lost’ amongst the volume of information about other tourist destinations in; The Caribbean, Honduras and other Bay Islands.

How do we intend to do it?

Our intention is to start by creating a Directory on the Internet listing all things About Utila with some basic information about the things listed. The web site will only be in English (for the foreseeable future). We aim to start small, a hobby not a business, and see how things work out. We intend to invest a significant amount our time, but not a lot of our money to get things started. For people who want to advertise or publish information on the web site, the good news is we are not asking you for any money, only information. Please contact us if you have information you wish to be published on this web site.
