Every afternoon, beginning around 4:30, some of the dive masters at BICD played bartender for all the beer-thirsty divers here on this roof. We would reminisce about the day's dives, hobknob a bit, and plan the night's activities. And rather than paying the island norm of 16 Lempiras for a beer, we payed only 12.
This is Nuria, our lovely Spanish dive instructor. She is the person who taught us how to survive underwater. She's always in a bright mood and always wears that beautiful smile. Love ya, Nuria.
Upstairs lived our landlord Kenny, from Louisiana. He has lived in Utila for 11 years, and now owns a local video shop and movie theatre, where he shows plenty of cheesy horror movies. Why? Because the Utilans go nuts for them.
This is the back of our apartment, where we lifted rocks and caught some rays. The Caribbean shore is only 15 feet away.
A nice shot of the East Harbor of Utila, taken as we were leaving the island on a ferry. If you look behind the sailboat and to the right, you will see three white roofs and a docked boat. This is the Bay Islands College of Diving, and one of their boats, called the Neptune.
Another view of the East Harbor. The arrow in the picture is pointing to the location of our apartment and our pier.
