    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Ta Hanita offers a typical Jardines de la Reina experience, with healthy reef structure and a good chance to spot Caribbean reef sharks cruising through. The currents here can be moderate, making it a drift dive that’s best suited for divers comfortable with moving water. Look for big groupers tucked into crevices and plenty of schooling fish overhead. It’s a solid dive for those wanting to see the resident shark population.
