Why dive here
With 337+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - Cubagua offers some of Los Roques Archipelago's richest reef diving. Water sits around 28°C.
Cubagua is one of the outer sites at Los Roques, often reached via a slightly longer boat ride. It’s a good spot for seeing bigger pelagics, especially if you’re hoping for sharks or large jacks cruising the blue. The currents here can be unpredictable, so we’d suggest it for divers comfortable with drift diving and keeping an eye on their buddy. It’s a dive that rewards patience and a bit of open-ocean experience.
