Dive-site story
Resting on the sheltered leeward side of San Andrés Island, the Blue Diamond is a sunken cargo vessel that serves as an artificial reef. The hull sits upright over a flat sandy plateau peppered with brain corals, sea fans, and sponge growth. Divers can explore the perimeter and open compartments where schooling reef fish congregate around the superstructure.
Upright shipwreck structure colonized by sponges and stony corals
Sheltered conditions typical of the western coast of San Andrés
Frequent encounters with southern stingrays resting in the surrounding sand
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Driest weather and calmest seas occur during the dry season, though diving runs year-round on the island's sheltered western coast.
