CAYO MEDIO

Cayo Medio sits right between Cayo Sur and Cayo Norte, and it’s one of those spots that just clicks. We love the quirky collection of junk here – a small fishing boat, a pickup truck, even a Jeep – all resting on the sand at around 17 meters. It’s not a grand historical wreck, but it’s certainly unique, and the marine life has really made it home. You’ll find Slate-pencil Urchins tucked into crevices, Shy Hamlets darting between the decaying metal, and plenty of Spotted Trunkfish poking around. Visibility averages about 7 meters, which gives it a wonderfully atmospheric, almost eerie feel as you descend onto the scattered debris. Our favourite is exploring the truck bed, often full of Cottonwicks and young Spot Snapper. It's a relaxed dive, great for anyone who enjoys pottering around a site and seeing how nature reclaims man-made objects.
