Utila Scuba Diving - done differently

- 6 divers maximum, owner-operated -


LEISURE BOUTIQUE DIVERS
has reinvented the Utila scuba diving experience. Our concept is simple – we take small groups of 6 PEOPLE MAXIMUM to Utila’s absolute best dive locations and provide top quality service and comfort along the way. We are a small, owner-operated dive company and focus on personal attention, safety, environmental responsibility, and delivering you an unforgettable Utila dive adventure.

A unique experience

With its abundant marine life, clear warm water, and downright friendly, laid back vibe, Utila has been a unique, quaint dive destination for decades. World famous for whale shark and dolphin encounters, Utila is the perfect haven for divers looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of cruise ships and large resorts and settle down in that good old fashioned Caribbean atmosphere. With LBD you can explore the best diving this unspoiled paradise has to offer.

After traveling and diving around the world, Brian and Rebe have discovered what separates a good dive operator from a great one. Crowded boats, congested dive sites, and rushed service are simply not enjoyable. Instead, we run small groups of no more than six divers at a time, have flexible scheduling, and focus on creating a fun and relaxing vibe. Our goal is to get you to the finest dive sites around Utila and take the time to explore them at our own pace.

    My husband and I did 2 days of diving with Brian, Rebe, and Captain Chris and had a wonderful time! They offer such a nice alternative to the larger dive operations on Utila and truly offer a boutique service. Also, one of the nicest boats we've ever gone diving with! We were able to hit some beautiful spots on the north side of the island and will hands down dive with them again!

  • I had been diving a few times before but my experience with leisure boutique divers has been by far the best. Starting with being received by Rebe and Brian early in the morning and heading off to see with Captain Chris to an amazing coral filled location with tons of gorgeous sea creatures was stunning. The sea can sometimes be intimidating and and this time I immediately felt so at home. John made it feel like I dived frequently. This for me makes the experience of diving so much more enjoyable and allows you to explore the underwater with so much detail. All the wonderful colorful fish the sting ray eels and many others make Utila an perfect destination. Paired with Leisure Boutique Divers plus delicious fruit served, a lovely shower and dry towels after a salty dive and amazing attentions was the absolute best.

    Amazing experience!! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. First day we went out with 3 other divers (so 4 divers total) and did 2 dives. Brian and Rebe explain the dive sites well on the boat and find all the cool ocean critters to show you. Second day booked a private trip with just myself and sister. Dive sites were amazing and then we went and grabbed lunch with Brian and Rebe on one of the cays. They are so friendly and easy to talk to. Even got my sister a key lime pie with candles since it was her birthday. Perfect and best diving experience (in 20 years!).

  • Tuve mi primera experiencia de buceo y no podría haber elegido un mejor lugar para hacerlo, todo estuvo realmente increíble! Se preocuparon de aclarar todas mis dudas y hacerme sentir segura en todo momento. Se nota el amor y dedicación que Rebe & Brian tienen por lo que hacen, muchas gracias!!

    My three sons and I had never tried scuba diving and the LBD Team was amazing! The Experience Scuba course taught us all the equipment and safety, let us practice our skills until we were comfortable and confident, and then led us on our first incredible scuba dive. We were all a little nervous and they totally put us at ease. The boat is amazing, but the people are even better! Brian, Rebe, Chris and John are as fun and friendly as they are knowledgeable and thorough. We can’t wait to go back to Utila and dive again with LBD!

This was my fourth dive trip to utila, but first time diving with Leisure Boutique. Hands down they have the best boat, equipment and service in the business, and they were able to take us to some awesome far off dive sites we never knew existed. Super comfortable boat!!

I had heard about the North Side but couldn’t find anyone who would take us to those sites until I found LBD. My wife and I booked the trip and it did not disappoint! The boat ride out was super comfortable (even on a windy day) and we loved the snacks, service and the team. Thanks Captain Chris, Brian and Rebe!

Leisure Boutique Divers helped us beat the crowds, it was just 4 of us diving and we had the trip of a lifetime when we had a magical close encounter with a huge pod of dolphins. Unbelievable!!

I recently completed my Open Water course and Advanced Open Water course with LBD and it was amazing. Communication was quick and easy, start times were flexible, gear was clean and in good shape. Top notch professionalism and all around great service. A+++
