Why dive here
With 207+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, lemon sharks, seahorses, sea turtles and sperm whales - Cayo French Man offers some of Corn Islands's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, September, October.
Cayo French Man, just a short boat ride from Big Corn, offers a pleasant drift over a healthy coral reef. We typically see nurse sharks tucked under ledges and plenty of schooling snapper out in the open. It's a relaxed dive, good for getting comfortable with a bit of current, and the shallower sections are great for photography when the light is right. Keep an eye out for eagle rays gliding past in the blue, especially in the mornings.
