Utopia Village/ U Diveについて
ホンジュラスの沖合に浮かぶベイ諸島で最も小さなユティラ島。その豊かなサンゴ礁の端に、U Diveを擁するウトピア ビレッジは静かにたたずんでいます。島で唯一の町からボートで約20分の場所にあるこのカジュアルで親しみやすい隠れ家は、道路もなければファストフード店もナイトクラブもなく、風にそよぐヤシの葉と、ひたすら打ち寄せる波の音だけが広がる場所です。
ユティラでのダイビング
このPADIダイブリゾートは、西半球最大のバリアリーフに面しており、100を超える記録されたダイブポイントを擁しています。海中には海山や浅いフリンジングリーフ、ケイマン海溝を取り囲む急傾斜のドロップオフが広がり、多様な地形が楽しめます。北側はドロップオフダイブが特徴で、深場のダイビングが中心。壁の上端は55～85フィートから始まります。沿岸側では20～55フィートの深さに中程度から浅いサンゴ礁が続き、オープンウォーターダイバーから上級者までが楽しめるほか、3つのレックダイブポイントも存在し、地形に変化を添えています。
ユティラの海には、カリブ海に生息する海洋生物の90％以上が確認されています。ブルータンクやサザンセネットの群れをはじめ、若魚から成魚までさまざまな生物がすみ着くこの海域では、ジンベエザメ、マンタ、レーストエンペラーレイ、モウレイウナギなどとの遭遇も期待できます。水温は平均80度以上と温暖で、潮流もゆるやか。そして最大100フィートの透明度を誇る海は、忘れられないスキューバダイビング体験を約束します。

★ 5 · Grant Sinclair · 2009-07-09Utopia Lodge is excellent. It provides a unique combination of seclusion, small group diving, high end accommodations, and excellent food. It is not in town (you take a boat to get to the lodge), so if you’re interested in a wild night life, this is not for you (unless you bring your own group, in which case you could certainly create your own at their bar). However, if you would like to be someplace that is quiet, relatively secluded, and provides excellent Caribbean diving for all levels of experience, it is. The lodge is beautiful, the staff is friendly and accommodating, and the dive sites are relatively close (5 to 20 minutes), variable (each dive was unique) and abundant (we never hit the same site twice). Plus they have an absolutely beautiful section of reef at the resort that provides for great shore dives. D.M.s Antonio and Oscar were filling in for some dive staff who were on vacation. They were very energetic, enthusiastic and friendly. They took great care of us and our equipment. Boat captain Leonard went out of his way to find dolphins (we swam with wild dolphins twice – they were incredible!) and whale sharks (didn’t find these, but it was late in the season, so we weren’t surprised). We have done 270+ dives in the Caribbean, and this was as good a dive team/experience as we have ever had. The chef while we were there was John. He is new (it was his first week) to Utopia and he is superb. The food was consistently marvelous, as were the desserts. He really works hard to make sure the meals are delicious and unique (nothing remotely close to the standard meals found throughout the Caribbean – and we’ve been to many resorts). The only two downs (as you will read in other reviews) are the sand fleas and the local air travel. But the fleas can be controlled with DEET (we used a 35% cream that worked fine) and the air travel wasn’t really different from any other puddle jumper experiences we have had. Neither would prevent us from going back again. We will return to Utopia and recommend it to all. It was wonderful!
