Picua - Santa Marta & Tayrona

Picua offers a gentle introduction to Santa Marta's diving, often used for training dives. The bottom is mostly sand with scattered rocky outcrops, home to crabs, small rays, and a variety of juvenile reef fish. It's a comfortable spot for newer divers looking to get their fins wet without strong currents or deep profiles. We find it’s a good place to check your weighting.
