A day like any other on Utila
Usually still half asleep, I blend this smoothie from frozen bananas, papaya, pineapple, watermelon, and sometimes—if we managed to get some—passion fruit (maracuya). Then I add a few ice cubes and sometimes a bit of peanut butter. The result is a wonderfully cold, fruity-sweet smoothie that’s often better eaten with a spoon than drunk, thanks to its creamy texture from the frozen ingredients.
Dive master training in Utila
The sun is scorching from the sky, directly onto my head. Sweat is dripping from my forehead, my wetsuit is slowly soaking it up and warming me up even more—completely unnecessarily. The boat is rocking, and I have to keep my eyes on the horizon so I don’t get sick. My diving mask is strapped to my face, and I’m ready to jump into the cooling water.
