more from utila
Written by jason on June 13, 2008 – 12:05 pm -thanks to laura and sabrina for the donations!!!!
we are almost done with the first week of the Divemaster program. We have done 7 dives….deepest around 110 ft. for all the divers…the visibility is amazing. at least 100 ft. finding the boat is easy here. the coral is beautiful everywhere…but the north side of the island has way more life.
Last night our dive center held a bbq….it was a fun time.
So everyone probably wants to know how expensive it is here….here are a few items.
18 Lempira to the Dollar
beer - 25 limp
gallon of water - 25 limp
dinner for 1 - 100 limp
internet - 40 limp/hr
street food for 2 - 60 limp
divemaster class - 750$ per person
apartment 400$ month plus electric.
Ok - upload speed is riduculous…so we only got a few more pics going. You can look at them here.
later jason

I know this bar well. Spent an entire month on that island. Things to do:
1. Kayak though the canal to the other side and enjoy the beach (bring beer)
2. Rent a small canoe for the day and visit some of the out islands (bring beer)
3. Enjoy the Treehouse Bar during the full moon (drink beer)
4. Try and stay away from the bugs (pour beer on them)
5. Avoid Deeper Blue and owner “Steve Fox” at all costs. He’s alternately crazy, as is his wife, and runs a completely shoddy operation
Have fun! FYI you’re in good hands with the resort you are in.

Hey Jason and Cindi, it’s really cool that you are getting your dive masters. I’m working on my advanced open water right now and will probably have it by next friday, the 27th. Then hopefully rescue by the end of the summer. I hope you guys have alot of fun on your trip. Hopefully I can catch you guys somewhere and go diving.
Love you guys,
Sawyer
