Whale Shark & Oceanic Research Center Utila

This center studies whale sharks and monitors the coral reef. It offers regular snorkeling trips to track down whale sharks and spear invasive lion fish. If the whale sharks are found, everyone dons snorkeling gear and jumps into the ocean with them – an unforgettable experience. The idea is not to disturb the animals and to promote sustainable whale shark encounters. Those diving with College of Diving next door get a 30 percent discount.
