About Willy’s Hole
Willy's Hole is a boat-only reef and cavern dive in Turtle Harbor, reached by continuing past The Maze on Utila's north side. The site centers on a cave-like opening beneath the reef top, with deeper exploration possible for divers who stay within their training. Reef fish and lionfish are the main draw, so the dive works best as a controlled, relaxed stop rather than a fast, wide-open wall swim.
