Scuba Diving Utila
A family owned and operated dive resort on Utila since 1991.
We are a family owned and operated dive resort located on the beautiful island of Utila, Bay Islands. Our family and staff have taken divers ranging from entry level to dive professional underwater for over 30 years. Since 1991 we've expanded our dive operation into the beautiful, spacious, and friendly resort that it is today.
Underwater Vision is owned and operated by the Coopers, a local family who have been in the business for forty years! Their ancestors were among the first European settlers to the island of Utila. They have also hired an array of multi lingual experienced PADI Instructors to ensure that all diving students receive great instruction. You are sure to be treated like a part of the family once you set your bag down at Underwater Vision, regardless of the duration of your stay!
At Underwater Vision Utila our vision is to ignite and nurture an unwavering passion among divers, fostering a deep-rooted connection to the vast oceans and their mesmerizing inhabitants.

We're dedicated to transforming our vision into tangible reality. Through our scuba classes and immersive diving experiences, we empower divers to embrace a passionate connection with the oceans. Our mission is to educate, engage, and inspire, turning passion into action beneath the waves.

Having been raised around and in dive shops I started diving at a young age and completed my divemaster as soon as i could!

I’ve been working at Underwater Vision since 1994, that’s over 25 years of dedicated service!
The owner of Underwater Vision asked me if I wanted to be the dive boat captain as he watched me grow up working on cargo and fishing boats and I couldn’t say no!
