Dive Log

The fish of the week was the lionfish. For some this was their first encounter with the species, so exciting to see this amazing creature. However, it also signifies their eminent takeover as so many other Caribbean Islands have experienced. Already our sightings have gone from 2 per week in January to 21 this week! All divemasters on the island have been instructed to take measures to keep this misplaced creature to a minimum. You might see nets, small spears, and other means individuals have found successful in the waters around Utila.

There are plenty of Caribbean species to check out as well such as the quillfin blenny, spotted drum, green and spotted morays, queen triggerfish, and atlantic spadefish all of which were spotted this week!


Many thanks to our returning guests Jaime, Gail, Greg, Gail, and Holly for their billionth trip to Laguna! (ok 17th?). It was nice to see you all again--next rendevous September?
