Why dive here
With 139+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Coral Beach offers some of Isla de la Juventud's richest reef diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Coral Beach on Isla de la Juventud is a nice introduction to Caribbean diving, particularly for those just getting comfortable with their buoyancy. It's a shallow dive, topping out around 11 meters, making it great for longer bottom times and really observing the smaller details. We often see juvenile drum fish tucked into the crevices and schooling grunts hovering over the sand patches. Visibility here is usually quite good, and with minimal current, it’s a calm place to relax and enjoy the reef.
