Welcome to Utila Water Sports! We are a small family owned shop (one of only a few that are locally owned and the 3rd oldest here on the island) with experienced instructors and dive masters. We specialize in top quality scuba diving instruction through either
PADI or
SSI.
-
Small Classes (maximum 5 students per class) Small groups enable
more personal attention from the instructor to guarantee that the
skills needed to dive safely and comfortably are not just achieved
but mastered. During your 4 open water dives, small groups allow
more time for diving as skills are completed in a shorter time than
with larger groups.
- Best deal on the island We offer diver training with either PADI
or SSI (with SSI you save an additional $25 per course as they don’t
require the purchase of books). We are also the only shop on the
island to include 2 free fun dives upon completion of your course
makes your course price/value with Utila Water Sports unbeatable.
- Fast comfortable boats ‘The Manta’ is a 32' foot custom-built
dive boat with a spacious rear sun deck. She allows easy deep water
entry via 'James Bond' style backwards roll and as one of the
fastest boats on the island ensures we have pick of Utila's numerous
stunning dive sites. For larger groups, we use ‘The Overtime’ a 36'
foot-custom built dive boats which also allows easy deep water entry
via Giant Stride. Both boats have a comfortable roof deck perfect
for sunbathing during surface intervals.
- Regular North Side Diving and
whale shark
excursions.
- Courses structured around student needs Learn in an unrushed
atmosphere; take as much time to complete the course without
accruing additional fees.
- Courses available in many languages The instruction is available
in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Danish, Italian, Flemish and
German. We also have manuals and materials in many other languages:
Hebrew, Japanese etc...
- Excellent equipment New Scuba Pro Glide Plus BCD’s with
integrated weight systems in addition to various other equipment
from Sherwood and Bare. We also own both
Laguna Beach Resort and the
Utila Aggressor which provides additional equipment as needed as
well as a pool (perfect for confined water sessions).
- Air Conditioned class rooms Watch videos and study in comfort.
- Spacious grounds with Volleyball court Utila Water Sports
organizes BBQ's and volleyball games in the evening to make your
stay more fun. Numerous hammocks, swinging benches and private docks
help to make your experience even more relaxing.

our comfortable dive boats or explore the mangroves in one of our
kayaks.
