Explore the underwater realm of Cartagena with amazing diving experiences. The coral around the Rosario Islands and Baru offers some of the best diving and snorkelling in Colombia - the waters are full of fascinating marine life that will seek you out (rather than you having to search for them). There are a few key dive schools that operate at varying price-points.. or we can put you in touch with private instructors. The prices in Cartagena are quite competitive and the conditions are good for divers of all levels.. so much so that many people choose to complete their dive qualifications in our warm waters. 

SINGLE DAY DIVES AND SNORKELING

CERTIFIED DIVERS

Already got your qualification and ready to hit the water? This option includes 2 immersions at 2 different dive sites, your dive equipment, guide, snacks/refreshments/lunch (quality and quantity varies on the school you choose) and transport

BEGINNER DIVERS

A mini course that ticks off the basic requirements to allow you to get going and get down. This option includes a theory session and a practice session in a pool or contained water, plus 1 sea dive/immersion. Then the usual equipment, guide, snacks/refreshments/lunch (quality and quantity varies on the school you choose) and transport.

SNORKELING

Happy to keep things close to the surface? Snorkelling in Cartagena is a great option. It's also an affordable way to get out to the islands without paying for higher priced day passes and boat trips.

They speak fluent English and will ensure you have an exceptional experience.
