Comments	Fifth fime at Laguna Beach Resort, snorkeled with whale shark 4 trip out of 5. Boat captain Wagner will go out of his way to find a whale shark on our way to the first dive site and also during the surface interval. Great thing about Utila is the diversity of marine life. We've seen pair of spotted eagle rays, turtles, seahorse, frogfish, lettuce leaf slug, lots of large angelfish, large green moray, and so many others! Diving is done mainly around the island, towards the north side of the island is better. We dove the pinnacles and the diving is excellent, schooling fish like jacks and creole wrasse. Their house reef is also very good. We've seen 14 or more lobsters hanging out, biggest lobster taking a leisurely walk, jawfish, lots of juvenile fish, turtles, and many more. Each dive yields something new. Dive boat is roomy and fast, bungalows are over the water on the lagoon side of the peninsula. You get plenty of food and the BBQ lobster night they had twice during our stay was great. There isn't much of a night life at the resort, but we like it that way. We've been to many destinations in the Caribbean, but Laguna Beach Resort is the only place we keep on going back. Great service, great diving and with 3 dives a day plus unlimited shore diving, great price for what you get. No-seeums may be a problem if there isn't much breeze, but as long as you have bug juice (Cactus Juice and Deet product works best for us), it should not be a problem. We have recommended Laguna Beach to all the divers we've met. They really take very good care of us!
