The water surrounding Utila supports a prolific reef system which is home to many different types of fish and other marine species.

Below is a selection of photographs of some of the marine creatures of Utila taken by local underwater photographer Brad Ryon.

You will be sure to see most of these creatures during your underwater time in Utila when you venture into the sea to scuba dive or to snorkel.

Learning about and experiencing these beautiful and intricate creatures in their natural habitat helps to promote the protection of the eco-system that they are a part of which in turn, protects us all.
