Curry logs fourth scuba diving trip

Endicott

Bob Curry just returned from his annual scuba diving trip. He has been diving with the same group of friends for four years. Past trips have involved living on a boat for the whole week visiting the Caribbean islands.

The trip this summer involved flying to Roatan, an island on the northern coast of Honduras, then taking a small plane 26 miles to the very small island of Utila. There is no road to the Utopia Dive Village, so a 20 minute boat trip is necessary.

Though remote, the resort had first class amenities and an excellent dive operation. Although delayed 24 hours by an airline flight cancellation, Bob got in 10 dives. The deepest was to a large wreck lying at a 100-feet depth.

He saw many turtles, innumerable fish, sting rays and a tiny sea horse.
