Why dive here
With 217+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, humpback whales, orcas, sea turtles and pufferfish - Sombreros offers some of Caribbean Coast's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest March, April, May.
Sombreros is a solid Caribbean dive, often calmer than some of the more exposed sites. We've typically found decent visibility here, letting you spot the usual suspects like grunts, snapper, and the occasional nurse shark tucked under a ledge. It’s a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed multi-level profile, without demanding conditions.
