UDC is without a doubt the best dive shop in Utila! I was recommend UDC by a friend and what a great recommendation that turned out to be! I was very impressed by Andy's prompt replies in email and he quickly let me know everything i needed in regards to doing my Divemaster course there. From pricing to accommodation on... More

I did my Divemaster to MSDT course with Utila Dive Centre, and every course involved fun, hard working and professional staff. It didnt feel like a course at all, because while your diving and learning, your also involving yourself with the like-minded awesome people in IDC's little dive community. Travelling by myself, i was surprised at how easy it was... More

I must start by admitting I was really scared of diving when I first tried, and it took some patience and time from my instructor for me to get comfy underwater. He was really pro and made me feel safe and enjoy diving from then on. The facilities are great, the staff is really friendly and there's usually a really... More

We have never dived before and because of Utila Dive Centre we now love it. They made us feel comfortable both under and over water. The instructors were really good and they made our experience as good as it can be. This is a place I really would recommend to both old and new friends. We already miss Utila Dive... More

My husband and I have just recently spent 10 days in Utila. Diving out of the Utila Dive Centre was a great experience. They are all very professional and lots of fun. They made every dive we went on an experience. Hannah, Suzanne and Boat Captain Erroll are a wonderful team. They are like a family and make you feel... More

Aside from the proven fact that UDC has an amazing IDC program, there are far many benefits that you may not realize. Here are some: Dive centers around the world will be more likely to hire you if you have UDC on your resume and likely did some professional training there themselves! I can count 4 interviews that I had,... More

This was my second time going back to UDC to do my Staff Instructor course in April 2012 with Andy and Suzy! I was there in November 2010 when I did my IDC with them as well. As always Andy and Suzy and the UDC crew greeted me like family and even helped me gain some freelance jobs on the... More

I dragged my husband to Utila kicking and screaming, but once we got there he changed his tune in a hurry. The dive shop was impressive in size, equipment and staffing. The equipment part was important since our gear got lost in transit and we needed rental gear in a hurry (which they very courteously did not charge us for).... More

This is the first review of anything I've ever written. I was sufficiently annoyed by this practice by UDC that I thought it was worth letting other people know about it. When my girlfriend and I finished diving with UDC they quoted me $464 in US dollars. They said that if I used a credit card there would be an... More

Hello efsugar, We apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you and hope that you enjoyed your diving experience with us. We explain to every customer about the 8% charge that is applied when using a credit card, this is not illegal, and most businesses on the island charge it because of the policies & conditions the banks...
