Jack Neil Point is Utila's point-and-wall dive, with a shallow sand chute, a mini-wall, and enough reef texture to keep the route interesting from start to finish. It suits deliberate divers who like to read terrain, work a point or night dive cleanly, and slow down for rays and small critters on the sand and along the wall.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A good fit for controlled scuba, especially if you like deliberate night or macro-focused dives.

Snorkeling
The shallow chute is the only part that makes much sense near the surface.
