West End

★★★★☆ (371)

Great location to get out of the winds and waves when blowing from south east. Just around the corner on the north side it has gentle sloping wall and vibrant soft corals. Easy dive for all levels and generally little or no current.

Usually the standard marine life found in Utila will be seen on this site but nurse sharks and green morays are more likely too. An occasional turtle may be found here.
