CAYO NORTE - Morrocoy & Chichiriviche

The Garden of Eden, tucked away in the Somosomo Strait, offers a pleasant drift along a colourful wall. We typically start on the expansive reef top, letting the gentle current guide us past plenty of crevices and small swim-throughs. The wall itself drops to a sandy bottom at 19 metres, with a decent spread of hard and soft corals. Keep an eye out for the resident cowries, sometimes a turtle cruises by, and we’ve seen small reef sharks here too. Visibility often sits around 14 metres, making it a good, easy dive for shaking off the travel dust or just enjoying a relaxed afternoon in the water.
