    Punta Perdiz on Isla de la Juventud is a gentle introduction to Caribbean diving. The reef slopes to a maximum depth of 22m, making it ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive. We usually find plenty of snapper, grunts, and small reef fish hiding among the coral formations here. It’s a solid spot for a chilled-out morning dive.
