Water Depths and Diver Experience
The majority of the sites are relatively shallow, (between 5 and 25 m). There are others which allow us to dive to 40 metres. Each dive is planned according to your level of diving experience. We hope this brief list will fire your imagination of the wealth submarine species you can see in this still virgin and relatively unknown area.

* Punta Venado: 5 minutes from Taganga. Here we can do incredible shallow dives and see the Gorgóneas which is veritable submarine garden in just few metres of water. There is also an interesting underwater cliff which drops to 20 metres. This is one of the best sites for a spectacular night dive.

*Granate:  This is the first bay you find in the Tayrona National Park, about 20 minutes from Taganga. It is well protected by the base of the Sierra Nevada, making it an ideal site for novice divers. Large sandy areas at shallow depths are the perfect spot for doing the exercises required in diving courses. Here we offer a range of dive between 5 and 25 metres. Here we offer a range of dives between 5 and 25 metres during which you can find examples of all the fauna of the area.

* Casa Camargo: Some 25 minutes from Taganga provides a choice of dive plans. The first is a small well populated underwater cliff which descends to 15m. The second is a 20m dive in calm water in which you can see examples (up to 4m tall) of the largest species of coral. This is also a great site for a night dive.

* Isla Aguja: The arid rocks, rising out of the sea at 30 minutes from Taganga, provide a wide offering of very interesting dives.

* Calichan: Here the experienced diver can dive to depths of up to 40m,and enjoy the still untouched virgin fauna. Here you will find, at a depth of around 25m, a mountain covered by lettuce coral. Another dive is in still clear waters to a shallow sandy bottom which makes it ideal for the less experienced diver.

* El Salidero: A dive, for experienced divers, in a current during which you will see spectacular fauna, barracudas and impressive coral gardens.

* El Torin: Without a doubt one of the dives which almost guarantees the best visibility. We dive to 18m on a reef covered with a wide variety of coral species with impressively large colonies of moose and brain corals.

* El Palo: Here there are small caves, a depth of 20m and varied corals.

* Punta Aguja: Another current dive where we invariably see large moray eals and lobsters.

* Los Morritos: Not a dive site for the inexperienced or faint-hearted due the constant and heavy seas. This is one of the areas where you can find some of the largest specimens of fish.

* Morrito Largo: Is a small rock a little off the "Isla Aguja" and is an ideal site for deep dives. Here we dive to 40m. In an area festooned with black corals. Experienced divers can cross from Morrito Largo to the Isla Aguja viewing giant sponges, which grow in the current, along the way. This dive is only possible when there is no lateral current.

* Playa Brava: The second bay in Tayrona National Park, a beautiful dive with lots of fauna, features interesting and a beautiful view of the unspoilt "Playa Brava".

* El Coro: This is one of the few off-shores dive sites at which we dive to between 20 and 40 m to find two large rocks with small caves in which a variety of species can be found.

* Wreck "El barco hundido": At 40 minutes from Taganga, in front of the Rodadero, there is sunken cargo ship lying on the sandy bottom at a depth 29m. It is 33 m long and, totally covered with oysters, clams and coral. This fauna at this unique site has developed over the 14 years since the sinking of the ship.There is a hold into which you can swim and see the engine room
