Utila Dive Centre Unveils GoMEDIA and GoECO Programs
Utila Dive Centre has announced two new development programs – GoMEDIA and GoECO.
UDC are passionate about the marine environment and with that in mind, they have developed the GoECO program. The program presents an in-depth study of the underwater environment, the obstacles it faces now and in the future and the ways that you can have a positive impact. The course includes PADI Aware and Distinctive Specialty certifications, training in reef monitoring surveys as well as participation in lectures on local marine species and underwater/beach clean-ups. The GoECO program can be conducted in conjunction with PADI Divemaster and Instructor Internships at UDC as well.
In addition to the GoECO program, Utila Dive Centre also offers a new and incredible opportunity for you to dive into the world of underwater photography and film production. They developed the GoMEDIA program that allows you to develop the skills needed to shoot professional-grade photography and video in some of Utila’s most stunning dive sitse accompanied by diverse wildlife and under the guidance of the highest standard of professional instruction. Whether you are just starting to take photos or videos underwater, or an already experienced photographer looking to take your content to the next level and capture professional-grade photos and video, the GoMEDIA program has either a 1 or 2 week long intensive course that works for you.
If you want to discover and explore the underwater world and learn how you can contribute to its conservation, or if you want to develop the skills needed to capture incredible moments on photo and video underwater then you can learn more about the GoECO and GoMEDIA programs by visiting their website or contacting the team directly at info@utiladivecentre.com.

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.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
