Why dive here
With 337+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - La Picua offers some of Los Roques Archipelago's richest diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
La Picua delivers classic Los Roques diving, an easy drift along a wall where the reef meets the sand. We often see barracuda patrolling the drop-off and stingrays resting on the sandy bottom. This site is great for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed dive with consistent visibility.
