Utila Dive Centre Unveils Tec Diving Package Options
Utila Dive Centre is a well-established PADI 5 Star Career Development Centre that is the most referred and recommended facility of its type in Central America and the Caribbean.
In 2001 Utila Dive Centre expanded its range of services and became a PADI TecRec facility, teaching diver and instructor levels for Tec Deep and Tec Trimix courses. The centre is now launching 2 new packages specially tailored for certified Tec and Tec Trimix divers looking for a place to explore.
Utila Dive Centre has 4 fully equipped dive boats and two of these boats have been modified to meet Tech divers special gear requirements and space.
On site gas blending is provided (including helium & Nitrox), as is rebreather support, emergency O2 kits, lockers, showers, free WiFi, seaside bar and lounge areas for your comfort.
The north side of the island has deep walls, caverns and swim-throughs in the 150- to 260-foot (45 to 80m) range. The east and south sides of the island offer numerous offshore seamounts and pinnacles, many inaccessible to recreational divers as the tops are at 130 feet (40m) and drop to depths 262 feet (80m) and deeper. Utila Dive Centre has also partnered with Global Dive Guide, a mobile app that allows users to download maps and full detailed information about the top dive sites in Utila. The information was all provided by Utila Dive Centre thanks to the experience and knowledge of the centre’s guides and instructors.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
