I absolutely loved Laguna Beach Resort. The staff was incredible and the food was great. I am new to diving and I have to say that Al & Erika were awesome dive masters, they made my diving experience wonderful, especially the turtle we saw eating on some coral. It was fantastic and I can't say enough about Capt. Wagner he made the trip fun for our group. Capt. Kerri took us into town one night and was such a wonderful host, the people of Utila are very friendly. I would recommend Laguna Beach Resort for anyone who wants a vacation that is relaxing and peaceful. Thanks again to the staff I will not forget this trip.

Well this was the week of dolphins! 7 sightings in 6 days. Species included bottlenose, spinner, and some rough tooth. Some pods were hundreds while others were between 10 and 20. Everyone had a chance to get in the water and hang out with these amazing creatures--in the wild!

Thanks to all of the guests for a great week! Hope to see you again soon (We know Stuart and Kelly will be back!)

Everyone enjoyed the always hectic Semana Santa this week. There were people arriving and departing every day but our staple guests managed to remain tranquilo and made sure everyone had a good time. Family Lourie, the Chase siblings and Kevin and Laurie (congrats on your certification Laurie!) headed up the Another Time while the "stag" boat held all the boys and poor Lori! Only until Wednesday when the Swiss arrived and added 2 more females to the group--thank goodness.

Once again the whale sharks graced us with their prescence at the beginning of the week allowing everyone to call and write home with phenomenal pictures to make other friends and family jealous. Also sighted were a lesser electric ray, huge scorpion fish, tiny octopus, and quillfin blenny.

Thanks to all for a wonderful week at Laguna Beach!

So we had a full house this week with Calypso divers from Missouri taking the majority of the resort led by Joel! Family Millet/Bennett rounded out the rest of the spots. All three boats spotted the infamous whale shark early in the week so the remainder went very smoothly needless to say. Other critters included a rare lined seahorse, juvenile spotted trunfish, and a giant sunfish (I was jealous of that one!). Thanks to the divers for another fantastic week at Laguna Beach.

Although the week was a bit empty it was full of laughs from returning guests Nan and Craig as well as newcomers Kent and Joan. We all had a fantastic week hanging out and diving and will most likely see both couples again in the future whether it be here or on the farm!

Our friends from Guatemala visited once again--Pana Divers our staple neighbors--we hope more of you come next time (and still including Jose, Claudia, and Isabel!) and by then the water should be nice and warm. (Right now around 78 degrees Fahrenheit but still cold for some of us!).

Thanks to all for a relaxing, memorable week.

Thanks to the Buckeye Diving School and the New Mexico Scuba Center as well as Jim and Eric for a wonderful week of diving at Laguna Beach. Highlights included a dolphin encounter for the Show Time divers. All were awed by the playfulness of the wild dolphins! The Another Time had an amazing experience with a giant manta which is a rare sighting here in Utila. The Big Guy (whale shark) was sighted briefly on Friday. Most saw him/her from the boat but a few lucky ones watched it swim by them while snorkeling.

Fish:
Roughtail stingray
Southern Stingray
Baby nurse shark
Nassua Grouper
Leopard flatworm
Juvenile Green Razorfish
Manta ray
White spotted file fish
Spotted Eagle Ray
Mutton Snapper w Remora
Spotted Drum (terminal phase)


Thanks again to both groups and individuals--until next time--

We said farewell to Captain Nemos dive group, as well as, Pat, Dave, and Dan. The week started with a Whale Shark and the spirits were maintained until the last drink of Friday evening! Besides the big guy other sightings included a lined sea horse, a giant reef tunicate, ocean triggerfish, and a large school of Atlantic spadefish. Many photos were taken, many jokes were told, and overall the crew had a great time with the Columbia, Missourians (and the 3 misfits)!
