    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Little Kings Cay offers a decent reef dive in the Corn Islands. We found a healthy mix of hard and soft corals, with a good chance of spotting nurse sharks tucked under ledges. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant drift for divers looking for a relaxed exploration rather than big pelagics. It’s a solid pick for those newer to currents.
