A great laugh to be around and very dedicated divers! Made friends with a lot of the... More

Everybody is extremely nice and well trained. They really work hard to give you the best dive experience you can have. They have a package deal with Mango Inn. The best hostal on Utila I think. They organize all kind of nights as quizes, BBQ, etc. If you want to have a great time, go here! More

This was our first attempt of scuba diving after years of snorkling. It was an excellent experience. From the moment we got on to the island our instructor greeted us and took us to Mango Inn hostel (basic accomodations, but good for our standards) and after we settled in he showed us around, where to eat, where to drink, etc...

Stayed with UDC for a few months to do my DM and had the time of a lifetime. will never forget the staff or the people I met. Is the best shop on the island, and all the other shops try to come close to their level, but none is able! If you are going to dive or do certs,... More

My gf and I got our OW and Advanced OW PADI certifications at UDC in April 2011. We found the instructors very knowledgeable and professional. The center was very flexible with scheduling and made sure we were happy with our diving experience. The prices were reasonable considering the discount for staying at Mango Inn. Diving in Utila is nice and... More

I visited Utila the first week of April '11. The whole experience was outstanding, from the Mango Inn to Utila Dive Center. I have dreamed of swimming w/ Whalesharks for @ least 15 yrs and UDC more than made that happen . The island was a laid back and relaxing atmosphere that was a perfect "feel" after such great diving... More
