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 is delivered in a professional manner and we aim for the highest level of customer satisfaction. Our purpose is to provide not just a diving experience, but a transformational experience that allows our divers 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 maximize our divers' convenience and comfort. However, we believe our main strength is our staff, whom 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.

Utila Dive Centre doesn't just aim to be a market leader, but aims to raise standards by educating our own divers and staff and through our 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. 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.

Our weekly BBQs 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 the Utila Center for Marine Ecology (UCME), we have committed ourselves to be 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 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.
