El Laberinto - Santa Marta & Tayrona

Jungle is a good spot for a relaxed drift along a sloping wall, especially when it hasn’t rained recently. We’ve found the run-off from the nearby rainforest can drop visibility from its usual 16 meters, but even then, it’s a pleasant dive. You'll glide past some truly magnificent sea fans and sponges, finding a surprising number of fish like the Scarlet Soldierfish tucked into crevices. Keep an eye out for luminous fire anemones – they really pop against the deeper blues. Maximum depth here is 24 meters, making it a good choice for divers who enjoy a more mellow pace without missing out on solid reef action.
