The Halliburton (Wreck)

Bando Beach has a mild sloping wall that drops to about 18 meters to the sand. This is a great site in foul weather because it is closer and possibly calmer than other sites. This site is best for new divers but divers of all experience levels can enjoy.

Finishing off Moon Hole toward the west brings us to Ron’s Wreck. Once an old shrimp fishing boat, it is now sitting below the sea at about 60ft (18.28m).

Identified by a Concrete Pillar that sticks out about 10m/30 feet above the surface is where “Light House Reef“ dive site is located, the pillar also marks the entry channel to the main Utila Harbor. This site is usually busy due to its close location to most dive centers on the island.

Moon Hole is a large sandy patch surrounded by coral. This is an excellent site for Buoyancy or Open Water training dives. From Moon Hole, you can cross the coral to Ron’s Wreck.

Within the main harbor of Utila is the Sturges Bank. In a huge area you will find formations that resemble small hills under the surface and are covered with coral. Since this place is protected within the harbor, it is frequently visited and has a total of 3 fixed mooring lines.

Airport Caves Dive Site is located about 10 to 15 minutes from the main dock on Utila.Located on the south side of the Island in front of what used to the old airstrip .

Similar in appearance to Black Coral Wall or Pretty Bush Gentle shop, with some rock formations and depths to 100 fee/30m are possible. Lots or soft coral and fish.

Linda’s Wall is a south-side dive site, not as well know as other dives. The wall here is beautiful and covered with a spectacular rainbow of hard and soft corals. Easy access makes this a great site to visit.

Rocky Point is a sloping wall that turns more shear as you proceed east along the wall. Depths in excess of 40 meters are possible. A great site for Extended Range training. Also a nice dive to drift toward the west.

This is a great shore dive. Rough, rocky entry with some surge to contend with. Once in, the dive is full of vibrant coral and sea fans. Max depth is about 18 meters.
