Why dive here
With 491+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Cerro Gordo Beach offers some of La Parguera's richest diving. Water sits around 27°C.
Cerro Gordo Beach is a really easy dive, perfect if you’re just getting into the swing of things or want to brush up on skills. It’s pretty shallow, topping out around 11 meters, so you get plenty of bottom time to explore. We’ve seen a decent variety of smaller reef fish here, parrotfish nibbling on the bottom and the occasional crab scuttling past. Visibility can be a bit variable, especially after rain, but on a good day, it’s a calm, relaxing spot for a long, easy dive.
