Dive-site story
Located along the sheltered eastern arm of Caracas Bay, this site combines an encrusted shallow wreck with an expansive sloping reef wall. Divers step into the water right off the rocky beach, exploring dense coral formations near the shoreline before heading past the pier structures or out toward the deeper drop-off. The area serves as a key base for shore diving on the island, favored for calm surface conditions and easy navigation along the coastline.
Small sunken tugboat covered in hard corals, sponges, and macro life in very shallow water
Massive pier pilings draped in encrusting tube sponges and sheltering schooling baitfish
Gradual reef slope transitioning into a steeper drop-off populated by large brain corals and sea fans
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving is accessible year-round due to the sheltered position of the bay, with the warmest water occurring in late summer and autumn.
