Why dive here
With 337+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blue sharks, bull sharks, dolphins and eagle rays - SANTA ANA offers some of Los Roques Archipelago's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 26-30°C, warmest September, October, November.
Santa Ana is a classic Los Roques wreck, a ro-ro ferry that went down in 1980, now sitting upright in just six metres. You’re essentially diving the superstructure, as the depth allows plenty of time to explore the upper decks and watch the light play through the old windows. Schools of snapper often hold tight to the shadows, and we’ve seen barracuda cruising the open deck space. It’s a great choice for divers who appreciate a good wreck with easy access and calm conditions, ideal for longer bottom times without any current worries. A perfect site to enjoy the structure and the fish life it attracts.
