Why dive here
With 493+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Cayo Lobo offers some of Fajardo & East Coast's richest diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Cayo Lobo is a solid choice if you're diving out of Fajardo and looking for something mellow. It’s a shallow spot, topping out at around 15 metres, which makes it perfect for newer divers getting their fins wet or for a relaxed second dive. You’ll drift along some nice coral formations, keeping an eye out for parrotfish munching on the reef and plenty of sergeant majors darting around. It’s not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics, but it's a pleasant, easy dive with reliable visibility most days. We often see a turtle or two cruising by, which always makes for a good end to the dive.
