About Moon Hole
Moon Hole is a sheltered Utila training site built around a wide sandy bowl rimmed by coral, with a route that is easy to read and ideal for controlled practice. The main draw is simple terrain that lets divers focus on buoyancy, trim, and comfort, while the coral rim gives the site enough structure to stay interesting. It is especially useful when you want a calm dive that still connects naturally into nearby reef and wreck terrain.
