Comments	Utila Lodge Resort, located on small island of Utila, is an all-inclusive that is incredibly close and convenient to both diving and "town". Resort is built over the ocean. No bug problems, probably due to constant breeze. Staff is friendly and food is generally good. Only attire required is a bathing suit, shorts, t-shirt. The hammocks were great for surface intervals. Variety in diving, some strong currents. Many locations had lovely coral; large schools of fish; crab; lobster; lots of sand channels between the reefs; eels; manta and eagle rays, a couple of sites were too silty. A Whale Shark passed right beneath us! Three dives/day for 5 days, 2 on last day. Dove nitrox. The dive masters should be more familar with the sites and conditions. Very reasonable, Saturday to Saturday with 17 dives, food, accommodations cost $850/pp. Of course the bar tab at the end of the week jacked that up a bit. We would dive with this resort again.
