Why dive here
With 517+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, dolphins, eagle rays and hammerhead sharks - Bahia Aguacate offers some of Santa Marta & Tayrona's richest diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest June, July, September.
Bahia Aguacate offers a relaxed dive, good for shaking off the rust or for newer divers getting comfortable in the water. Expect a mix of soft corals and rock formations, with the usual suspects like parrotfish, snappers, and a few morays tucked into crevices. It’s a pleasant enough spot, calm and relatively shallow, making it a good second dive of the day. We’d recommend it if you're looking for an easy morning out.
