Dive-site story
Located along the sheltered western shoreline of San Andrés Island, Nirvana features a coral reef terrace that gives way to a sloping wall. Calm conditions on this leeward side create a relaxed setting for drifting over patch reefs, spur-and-groove formations, and sand channels dotted with gorgonians.
Vigorous stands of sea plumes, brain corals, and large barrel sponges along the drop-off
Sheltered western exposure offering calm surface conditions and minimal current
Frequent encounters with hawksbill turtles and resting southern stingrays in the sandy clearings
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
