Why dive here
With 493+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Bajo Amarillo offers some of Fajardo & East Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Bajo Amarillo, off Fajardo, is one of those easy-going spots perfect for getting back in the water. We usually drop onto a sandy bottom at about 20m, then cruise along a series of coral heads and rocky outcrops. You’ll spot plenty of grunt and snapper hanging out, and sometimes a green moray peeking from a crevice. It’s a comfortable dive, good for beginners or anyone who just wants a relaxed afternoon underwater without any major thrills. We often pair it with another site for a two-tank trip.
