“Unexpectedly we came across a pod of over 50 spinner dolphins who surrounded us as we surfaced from a fish counting dive. Totally unforgettable!”
“The Research Programme is interesting and varied and the Research team make a massive effort to help you understand their programmes and the particular issues that Utila and the Caribbean ecosystem is facing.”
“The UCME programme seems to be one of the only voices trying to influence the impact of tourist development on Utila - absolutely vital if they're to halt the destruction of the coral and fish life that the average tourist comes to look at!” (KW)
