“Tela’s reefs are one of the most amazing reefs I’ve ever seen in my life,” Carias says. “It’s impressive how healthy this reef is – how colorful and alive it is, different from other reefs dying everywhere. Tela is special.”
Carias is originally from the capital city of Honduras, Tegucigalpa. It’s about as different from quiet and quaint Tela as you can get. “I became a Divemaster about 10 years ago, and it helped me to get to know this spectacular reef here in Tela and to love it,” he says. “And, I’m not leaving anytime soon because I want to show everyone the beauty of this place and how magical the coral is.”
