Welcome to Utila Dive Center– the go-to place for fun Scuba adventures!
For over 20 years, we’ve been the top choice for divers of all levels, and it’s not just because of our friendly team and incredible dive opportunities– though that’s a big part of it! We offer dive vacations at UDC’s dive resort that are simply unforgettable.
So get ready to dive in for the first time or take your diving skills to the next level with our expert team by your side at the UDC dive resort.
We have dedicated fun-diver boats at UDC, and that means you won’t be on a boat with courses or uncertified divers, but only divers with similar skill levels allowing us to go the best dive sites possible!
We offer two-tank dive trips to the North side of the island each morning (weather permitting) and an additional two-tank dive is available to our South side sites in the afternoon. We also regularly operate night dives, which each count as 2 dives from a cost perspective.
Your divemaster/guide will be a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer (not just a recently certified DM) to ensure your comfort and safety at all times.
We limit our fun diver groups to a maximum of 6 divers to 1 guide – the smallest on the island!
Our team of guides have over 10,000 dives on Utila’s reefs, and their knowledge of the dive-sites and Utila’s marine world is second-to-none!

If you have not been diving for a while we require that you complete a refresher course prior to starting your dives. We require a refresher if the following applies: If you have less than 20 dives and have not dived for 6 months,or if you have less than 50 dives and have not dived in a year, or finally if you have less than 100 dives and have not dived in 2 years. During this refresher you will be working directly with one of our Instructors and going over the basic dive theory, basic safety skills as well as equipment and buoyancy. They will make sure that by the end of your course you feel confident and excited to get back underwater and enjoy our beautiful reefs! The price for the refresher course is $46 and it includes equipment, materials, taxes and fees.
The Mango Inn offers dormitory-style rooms, standard rooms, and deluxe cabins – simple and comfortable options to rest after your dives.
The best time for a dive vacation in Utila is from January through August. During these months, the water is calm, visibility is clear, and you might even spot whale sharks and other amazing sea creatures.
Yes, beginners can enjoy recreational diving at our resorts! We provide easy-to-follow training with knowledgeable instructors who will make sure you’re comfortable and safe while exploring the underwater world.
