With an excellent barrier reef lying less than a mile offshore, Cayo Largo del Sur doesn’t fail to impress, making shore diving accessible. The reef is home to a vast conglomeration of creatures, from colorful parrotfish to sidling rays.
Off the reefs, you can explore caverns and grottoes, where weird creatures will greet you, hiding from the light. There is also a tremendous drop off, where you can swim alongside the wall, checking out the hundreds of varieties of corals and fishy beasts. Wreck divers, don’t be dismayed, there are sunken ships here for you to check out, as well.
This is a great spot to pick up some certifications, whether you want to wreck dive or cavern dive. Many spots make the perfect place for beginners, as the water is warm and calm.
Accessing Cayo Largo del Sur dive sites begins with flights to Cayo Largo Airport from Havana or other Cuban hubs. Dive centres are based at island resorts and offer guided boat dives, equipment rental, and certification courses. Most dive sites are reached within short boat rides from the marina. With clear Caribbean waters and protected reefs, diving in Cayo Largo del Sur is convenient and rewarding for all experience levels.
