Cave
Why dive here
With 207+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, lemon sharks, seahorses, sea turtles and sperm whales - Cave offers some of Corn Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, September, October.
The Cave, just off Little Corn, gives you exactly what the name implies, but in a user-friendly package. We're talking shallow caves and swim-throughs, nothing too demanding, bottoming out around 11 meters. Visibility often sits around 15 meters, making it easy to appreciate the rock formations draped in mustard hill coral. Look for blackfish darting around the crevices, and if you’re lucky, a passing eagle ray might glide by. It’s a nice easy dive, great for knocking off some rust or for anyone keen on poking into shadowy corners without the full overhead environment commitment.
