OWSI, Specialty Instructor

After falling in love with the underwater world of Utila, I made it my mission to share this incredible experience with others. As a PADI instructor, nothing brings me more joy than introducing people to the magic of scuba diving in this special corner of the Caribbean.

Want to learn to dive in one of the world's most beautiful locations? Join me in Utila, Honduras, home to the spectacular Mesoamerican Reef – the second largest coral reef system in the world. I offer personalized PADI certification courses with the option of comfortable private accommodation.

 Limited Dates Available: Since this is a personal, one-on-one training experience with dedicated accommodation, spots are limited. Please inquire early about availability for your preferred dates. 

While you'll enjoy personal instruction and accommodation, all diving takes place at one of Utila's premier dive centers. You'll benefit from:

• Top-quality diving equipment
• Professional boat service with experienced captains
• Access to the dive center's excellent facilities and restaurant
• A perfect blend of personalized attention and professional operations
• PADI Open Water or Advanced Open Water certification course
• Private room with dedicated private bathroom (single or double occupancy)
• Daily breakfast and coffee
• Complimentary e-bike use to explore the island
• Flexible scheduling to match your learning style
• Personal island orientation and local recommendations
• Direct access to your instructor throughout your stay

Unlike traditional dive shops or resorts, staying with your instructor means having a dedicated mentor throughout your journey. Got questions about diving while having breakfast? Curious about marine life during an evening chat? I'm here to help. This immersive experience allows you to learn at your own pace while getting the most out of your time in Utila.

Utila offers a perfect blend of professional diving facilities and laid-back island charm. You won't find big chain hotels here – instead, you'll experience authentic island life where English is widely spoken, prices are reasonable, and the diving is world-class
