Honduras

Staying in Utila to do my Dive Master Training was a bit of a spontaneous decision and I am really happy everything went just as it did! 
Utila is a small island in the Caribbean side of Honduras, reachable by ferry from la Ceiba and Roatan. As its an Island everything is a bit more expensive than it would be on the main land but it’s affordable non the less. 
Everything is walkable, there are no cars but tucktucks, Motorbikes and RTVs. 
It’s a tight knit community so it it extremely safe, even walking home alone in the dark there was never a moment I didn’t feel 100% safe.

Things to do:
Obviously DIVING! Some say its a diving island with a party problem, there are a lot of Scuba and free diving 
French Water Cave (free) -> rent a navi to go to the Utila power company, leave the bike there and walk a few minutes to the Sinkhole where you can take a plunge, free dive and explore the caves. Dont forget a waterproof torch, Mask and snorkel.
Neptune’s beach -> go to cheeps Beach, follow the Neptunes Sign, get on a boat for 80 lps that takes you thrrough a lagoon to an amazing beach to hang out under palm trees , snorkel, have drinks and food.
Sunset Yoga on a dock for 100 lps/ hour -> join Yogis of Utila Facebook Group for weekly schedule 
Treetanik -> hard to describe, look up on google maps - Art park, place for party’s on the weekends, 50 laps entry throughout the day. 
Water Ceys -> day trip to outer Islands

I never felt safe there. I was told not to wear my watch in public and not to take out my phone on the street. I only went for short walks alone, during the day, and I constantly felt uneasy.
