Shark Hole
Why dive here
With 207+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, lemon sharks, seahorses, sea turtles and sperm whales - Shark Hole offers some of Corn Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest May, September, October.
Shark Hole, off Little Corn Island, is a mellow spot. We're talking 10 to 15 meters max, so it's a good place to cruise without keeping too close an eye on your depth gauge. It’s essentially a sandy arm with a narrow coral path running through it. We've seen plenty of blue parrotfish munching away on the reef, and Spanish grunts often hang out in small schools. Keep an eye out for the chalk bass in the nooks and crannies. Visibility tends to be decent, around 15 meters, making it a relaxed dive for anyone looking for some straightforward reef time, especially if you're newer to diving or just want an easy afternoon.
Safety Notes
