It holds the second\u00a0largest coral barrier reef, Australia holding first place, and is the largest unbleached coral formation in the world as of April 2017. Open water diving in Honduras is one of the best choices you could ever make.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of backpackers and travelers of all ages learn open water diving in Honduras. Why? Because the courses are cheap, the island is fun, and the locals are sweethearts. When you go open water diving, the visibility is clear &#8211; sometimes up to 30 feet &#8211; and most importantly the corals are still alive, unlike in Northern Australia, parts of Thailand, Western Sri Lanka, and most other places I dove in.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are the details you need to make an informed decision regarding open water diving in Honduras.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"grve-element grve-align-left\"><a href=\"\/how-to-become-a-scuba-diving-instructor\/\" class=\"grve-btn grve-btn-extralarge grve-btn-underline grve-text-primary-1 grve-text-hover-primary-1\"><span>Interested in becoming an instructor?

When choosing a dive shop you should consider using the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How many people are assigned per instructor?<\/li>\n<li>How much experience does the instructor have?<\/li>\n<li>Is accommodation included? How many nights in total?<\/li>\n<li>How many \u201cfun\u201d dives (extra dives) do you get?<\/li>\n<li>Is the equipment new and in good condition?<\/li>\n<li>How nice is the accommodation?<\/li>\n<li>What is the price relative to the other dive centers?<\/li>\n<li>Most importantly \u2013 Will I get along with my instructor?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Getting along with your instructor when taking an open water diving course in Honduras is key. If you don\u2019t enjoy spending time with your instructor, you will always remember how unpleasant your first diving experiences were. To avoid making this mistake, try to speak with your potential instructor ahead of time.

While your friends and neighbours go dive, you are stuck in a room watching videos. But it\u2019s necessary as you will learn all the basics! I suggest you do like we did and watch it at 1.5X speed to make it go faster.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pool Practice \u2013 Half Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here we learned how to fall in the water, balance our buoyancy, and feel the beautiful tranquility of breathing under water. For some people this part is the hardest, as breathing under water is not made for everyone it seems!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>First Dive \u2013 Full Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your first dive is nerve racking, but will make for the experience of a lifetime. After checking each others equipment, its time to go down into the open sea!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I will never forget my first dive. I was so excited at one point I forgot to keep breathing! The instructor even told me to stop going all over the place on the next dive, as I was finishing my air tank too quickly!!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second &amp; Third Dive \u2013 Full Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These dives are great as you get to see a lot more fishies, and practice all the sign language. You also learn how to share air with someone else, which could be useful if anything goes wrong. In my dive someone\u2019s airflow stopped working, and that person had to use my air because our dive master\u2019s second breathing apparatus didn\u2019t work!!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fourth Dive \u2013 Last Day<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By the fourth dive you feel very comfortable under water, and get the hang of things. If you are lucky you will get to see a giant turtle, nurse sharks and manta rays like we did!! If not you can always keep hoping with the extra fun dives you still have left. It wasn\u2019t until our very last dive that I saw a turtle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about the course and what to expect when diving here in Utila on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.padi.com\/scuba-vacations\/bay-islands-honduras-roatan-and-utila\">PADI website<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_bottom_multiplier=&#8221;2x&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Costs To Expect<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Open Water: $240<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Includes 4 nights accommodation, 2 fun dives and the Open Water PADI certification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Advanced Water: $260<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Includes 6 nights accommodation, 2 fun dives and the Advanced Open Water PADI certification.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"grve-empty-space grve-height-2x\" style=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"grve-element grve-image grve-align-center\" style=\"\">  <div class=\"grve-image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/thealternativeways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/open-water-diving-utila-768x576.jpg\" class=\"grve-extra-round attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"open water diving utila\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thealternativeways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/open-water-diving-utila-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thealternativeways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/open-water-diving-utila-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thealternativeways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/open-water-diving-utila-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/thealternativeways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/open-water-diving-utila-900x675.jpg 900w, https:\/\/thealternativeways.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/open-water-diving-utila.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>   <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_bottom_multiplier=&#8221;2x&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h1><strong>What to do when you aren\u2019t open water diving<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Utila is a quaint island to visit and explore.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Psychedelic Beauty at Jade Seahorse &amp; Treetanic Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ever been to Barcelona to see Gaudi\u2019s works? <a href=\"http:\/\/jadeseahorse.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">There is one of the world\u2019s hidden wonders<\/a> that exist on the Island of Utila. It\u2019s a hotel\/ bar\/ museum\/ garden\/ maze\/ world-wonder, conceived by a<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>man who had a dream over 30 years ago. To this day he is working on it, this piece of art, composed of hundreds of thousands of pieces of glass. It\u2019s a mosaic like none other. You can go enjoy a beer or two there, and walk around this psychedelic paradise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Caves<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the island you will find caves made up of dead coral reefs . Unlike most islands in the world, Utila is getting bigger every year. Thus, as the shore line recedes, the corals are very sharp, so make sure to wear shoes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Free Diving<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Free diving refers to diving without a scuba tank. You take a big breath, and hope for the best. All jokes aside, some people on the island come only to free dive, and can stay under water for 2-5 minutes at a time!! Go learn with them when you aren\u2019t diving.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Great Food<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Enjoy some great baleadas and pastelitos. Honduras has amazing local food, even more so when you get on the main land. It\u2019s a shame that the mainland is so dangerous, as it has some of the most beautiful landscapes and tastiest foods I had in Central and South America.
