Parrots is not just a great dive center but a family! One of the best experiences i have had in months!
I came to dive for 2-3 days in Utila and then keep making my way to Belize. Not planing on making deep connections or frankly using more time than necessary to take my advanced diver certificate....but then I met Roberto and Ricardo two of the diver instructors, they with all the others made me super comfortable both above and underwater with their extremely professional tho relaxed attitude to diving. I was lucky to have Roberto was my diver instructor, and i could not have been in better hands. I Have dived in 5 different countries but I have never felt so relaxed and safe in the water as i did with Roberto. He is super observant and very clear in his instructions, all while he playfully points out all the marine life around you. It is very clear that diving is his passion and that showing and being able to share that passion with other people is something very special to him.
The ones who knows Parrots know that you can't talk about Parrots without mentioning Allen. Allen is the captain of the parrots boat but also everybody's ray of sun! With his incredible sense of humor and happy diminor i found it impossible to be in a bad mood around him. Miss you Allen!
Parrots is owned by the energy bomb Alfred who is just as amazing and full of energy as the place it self. Not only does he learn all the names and hang around the shop but he also worries about everyone like we are his children. Eventhough he has a lot going on he takes his time to get to know everyone and help if there is any kind of problems. whether its related to diving or not??
I have been solo travelling for 10 months in latin America and after many months of moving around every 2-3 days not finding rest. I found peace and a home in Utila with Parrots dive center.
It might not be the best looking place or have the best facilities you find on the island... but the people, Pancake (the cat) and Cornelius (the rooster of the dive center) make it feel like home and will not only steal your hearts but make you wish you could stay forever!
The only thing i regret about Parrots is that i couldnt stay for longer.
Parrots is not just a great dive center but a family.
Thank you for everything. I miss you all and I will make my return!?? - via
