Back to the Caribbean life - Utila round 2

After 5 weeks of cold and pretty miserable weather in the US, we were obviously very stoked to be heading back to the warmth and beautiful weather of the Caribbean. Even more exciting, was the fact that we were heading back to our second home, Utila, to see all the beautiful, familiar faces we had missed since leaving in December. Also, we were going back to actually work as divemasters for Underwater Vision - perfect, getting paid to go diving almost everyday!

Underwater Vision - Utila, Honduras. 

On the day we made it back to the island, we walked into the dive shop at 10:30 and were out drinking and partying on Water Cay by lunchtime. 

We hated being back in the Caribbean - Water Cay, Utila, Honduras. 

Our house for the two-and-a-bit months we were back - Utila, Honduras. 

Life on Utila consists of diving, partying, kicking back in the water (not necessarily in this order).  

When we weren't below the surface diving, we would practise our various modes of deep-water entry off the dive boat or dock at Underwater Vision - Utila, Honduras. 

Our first shabbat dinner at or house. Shabbat is the Jewish day of rest from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown and is a time for family and friends to get together to share a meal. Our Israeli friends would organise these 'family' dinners at someone's house every Friday night.  

The following photos are some shots from our GoPro showing the main reason we love Utila so much - the diving.  

           

We found this little guy, a Longsnout Seahorse, hanging below the dock next to the dive shop. 

Cassie always forgets to keep her regulator in while diving. 

An awesome honeycomb cowfish with Jack clearly stoked that he is now a divemaster. 

Schooling Atlantic Spadefish.

In case anyone didn't see this on Facebook, we swam with whalesharks.  This one hit me when I fell into the water. 

One of my favourite, and fortunately extremely common, (at least this time in Utila) animals to see while diving: the Spotted Eagle Ray.

Juvenile trunkfish (or box fish).
