Comments	I made 3 trips in Utila and it was the second time at UDC. It has changed since my last trip (2 years ago). It is more of a school than a resort for divers. I could tell we were second and the students were everywhere on all the boats. It shouldn't be a problem but all the diving is planned according to student's need and we end up second/last in line. It has become a bit like Puerto Galera where the staff is drinking a lot at night... to the point where it affect the guide's performance the next day. We stayed 14 days and we had lot of time to evaluate their operation. It has changed and not for the better for the diver who just want to dive!
