Mission Statement and Vision

At the Utila Dive Centre our Management team, Instructors, Divemasters, Boat Captains, Biologists and support staff are committed and dedicated to providing our divers and students with the highest quality diving experiences with an emphasis on education and conservation.

Our service
Our service is delivered in a professional manner and we aim for the highest level of customer satisfaction. Our purpose is to provide more than just a diving experience but a transformational experience that allows our divers to get so much more enhancement from their time with us. This allows them to make a positive contribution to the underwater world and raises their level of education and awareness. We do this in a safe, professional and, most importantly, fun manner!

The Instructors who work at Utila Dive Centre are trained to the level of at least PADI 'Master Scuba Diver Trainer.' We also have several PADI IDC Staff and Master Instructors on staff to raise the quality of the courses we offer to divers at all levels. 

We are constantly reinvesting and maintaining our boats, tanks, equipment, and operation to the highest impeccable standard to maximise our divers convenience and comfort from their time with. However, we believe our main strength is our staff which we value more than anything. They are the asset that cannot be matched and provide our divers with the education and experiences they seek from our facility.

Our core competencies are the experiences that we provide certified divers, the training we provide to students of all levels and the effort that we take to protect our environment and underwater heritage.

We aim to be a market leader
Utila Dive Centre doesn't just aim to be a market leader but aims to raise standards not just by educating our own divers and staff but through professionalism, customer service, innovation and environmental protection. We set the standard for the dive industry and other dive centres in our region and we aim to provide our service with dedicated personal attention. This benefits our divers and makes 'word of mouth' the number one reason why people choose to dive with us.

Every diver or student that visits us is treated as a friend and a lifelong member of the Utila Dive Centre. Our divers are guided in small personal groups and our students receive the strictest class ratios on the island, no other facility in Central America offers such dedicated supervision and personal customer service as Utila Dive Centre. This is why our divers keep coming back and more professionals choose to undertake their training with us than any other facility in Central America.

Social events
Our weekly BBQ's and social events highlight the fun and personal service our staff  like to share with all our divers to at our facility.  We like to take the time to know all our divers with a cold drink and a good plate of island style cooking.

Through our support for Utilas only environmental NGO, the Utila Center for Marine Ecology' (UCME), we have committed ourselves at the forefront of environmental research, scientific studies, community awareness and educational offerings.  We want to share our passion, enthusiasm and respect for the underwater world, reef systems, and mangroves with all visitors, professionals and the local community on Utila. No other facility on Utila places as much emphasis on environmental protection as Utila Dive Centre, after all we are in this profession for life and for love, and we hope to share that with all our divers and students.
