Ya! Certified diver!!
Courses went well. Over the last few days Ive seen some real cool fish, dove a shipwreck, went to the craziest party Ive ever seen, and wasted a lot of money on street food. I like Utila alright, but this isnt the vacation im looking for. This island has no culture besides party and dive. The locals arent even that friendly... it's kinda common for kids to throw rocks at you. However, today I went exploring with Brad and a guy from Hawaii. We saw some sweet lizards, walked down a volcanic rock beack, and found a real cool cave.
We heard about a really cool cave, about a 45 minute walk from our hostel. More like 2 hours. We followed a dirt road out of the city, and strolled down a beach. It didnt look to swimmable.
im waay to tired to write this. check back later and maybe i will finish it.
long story short: we found the cave. at first it looked like a hole in the ground, but we kept going, and eventually it opened up into this huge room with a crystal clear natural pool in it. waaay beautiful!
