Utila in Honduras (the Bay Islands)- the perfect place for backpacking to and having a party ! Spend some time learning to dive and enjoy Utila nightlife. You can find a good place to chill out and get some beach time if you have been backpacking through Honduras. Take some diving lessons and get free accommodation (so long as you take a dive course) ! Its the cheapest place to learn to dive in the world. And get the chance to spot the largest fish in the world the Whaleshark.

You might get lucky and see a whaleshark but bear in mind they are a treat and some instructors and divemasters living and diving every day on Utila have not seen one !

Here are our whaleshark resources
