Why dive here
With 139+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Bajo Médano offers some of Isla de la Juventud's richest diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Bajo Médano, off Isla de la Juventud, offers a gentle slope dive suitable for less experienced divers. You'll likely encounter smaller reef fish here, along with the occasional nurse shark resting on the sand. The currents are generally mild, making it a relaxing spot for a long bottom time. We think it’s a good introductory dive for the area.
