Why dive here
With 259+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Cayo Sombrero offers some of Morrocoy & Chichiriviche's richest diving.
Cayo Sombrero offers some gentle diving around rocky outcrops and small coral patches. You’ll generally find parrotfish grazing the algae and damselfish flitting through the nooks. It’s a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon, as currents tend to be mild. Surface intervals on the white sand beach are a real treat.
