Thirdly, Honduras is home to the world's second-largest barrier reef. Divers visit Honduras to appreciate the shoals of tropical fish and beautiful coral, and during certain seasons of the year, they may even see whale sharks or other larger marine monsters! It is one of the best things that you need to know about Honduras.

Utila, an island off the coast of La Ceiba (spend as little time as possible in La Ceiba, it's one of the few places in Honduras that felt dangerous to people), is a fantastic place for both professional and beginner divers – it's also one of the cheapest places in the world to get an open water qualification. Utila is well-known for being one of the cheapest places in the world to obtain an open water certificate, but it is also ideal for experienced divers. From October to December, there are gorgeous coral reefs to explore, as well as a plethora of tropical species and even whale sharks.
