Hello !!
I was both on Utila and Roatan in may (whaleshark period) and i do not agree with Jon !
I spent a couple of weeks both freediving and scuba and found the reefs very nice and the life very dense, i couldn't tell u the species in english. There are very nice 20-30 m freedive spots right of the coast (2 wrecks at 17 and 30 m right out the bay in Utila, 5 minutes swimming and an immediate access to the reef in Roatan).
I would say that the main problem in the 2 locations is not the reef nor the fishes but the crowd, the very cheap rates (around 180 USD, less on Utila, for a 10 dives pack with scuba) brings massive international divers.
Still, i can tell i had good fun in and out the water.
At the time i was there you could freedive with UDC in Utila.
We have done most our freedives by ourselves after 4 days of scuba to check the right spots.
