Utila is a small island off the coast of Honduras. People come here only for scuba diving as there is really nothing else to do on the island. It’s not very photogenic and I haven’t even taken one picture yet.
I did the rescue diver course which means that I now have the knowledge to rescue people if they get into sticky situations. The class was much harder than I thought it would be. Basically we spent all our time proving skills and then as soon as we think we’re done someone else gets into an “emergency.” They are constantly trying to trick/surprise us with problems. It’s almost like a circus underwater. As soon as I save someone from one thing someone else has another issue. It was exhausting. My favorite part was when I showed up on my last day and one of the instructors was drinking beers (not really, but they were trying to see if I was on the ball) and the other was about to have a panic attack because she dreamed that she was going to get stung by a sting ray like Steve Irwin. I was so glad when it was done and I got to do the fun dives with my friends. Thankfully none of them need saving and I could finally just relax and look at pretty fish!
We were here for Halloween which was a blast. Since we’ll all backpackers we had to be a bit creative with our costumes. We ended up buying a pack of face paints and that worked out pretty well.
Chris used so much color in his hair that it wouldn’t come out. He had yellow hair for quite a few days.
