    StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

    The Power Plant site, just off Isla de la Juventud, offers a rather unique dive. You're exploring the remains of a submerged power station, a fascinating blend of man-made structure and marine life. We’ve seen good numbers of schooling fish here, plus the occasional barracuda lurking in the deeper sections. It's a different kind of wreck dive, perfect for those who've seen their share of natural reefs.
