Sixth Day in Utilá

Today students were able to sleep in because it was a no dive day. Everyone woke up at approximately nine o’clock to be down at the dock and ready for a snorkel off the boat. We all swam around Airport Caves for an hour, seeing many fish species like Honeycomb Cowfish, Queen Angelfish, a Great Barracuda and a huge school of Blue Tang. They also saw many other animals like the Spotted Eagle Ray, Christmas Tree Worms and a species of shark that we weren’t able to identify.

Everyone then headed to a quick lunch before their next snorkel off from Coral Views House Reef.

During the second snorkel of the day students got the chance to see a French Angelfish, Spotted Trunkfish, an Octopus and a Balloonfish.

After the snorkel students dried off and had some time to lay in the sun. They then went out into the town for supper and enjoyed walking through the unique streets of Utilá.

Students are now packing their bags and are very excited to start the new adventure in Roatan tomorrow morning.
