Diving in the Los Roques archipelago is the very essence of a diving adventure. This is the kind of diving once found in the Caribbean 20 years ago, yet almost non-existent today. It is a paradise of secluded and, until now, unknown reefs, alive with the unfettered wilderness of nature. Huge amounts of marine life, walls of soft corals and sea whips descend to more than 200 ft. through a kaleidoscope of tropical fish. Along the flanks of submerged mountains, snappers, groupers and jacks gaze while barracudas cruise in precise formation and stingrays lurk on the sandy bottom.

A wide variety of dive sites: shallow reefs, perpendicular drop-offs, pinnacles, caves that harbor sharks and crustaceans of every type, hide in cervices among forests of sponges, all sites reminiscent of everything from the Galapagos to Bonaire. Los Roques indeed provides the most unique, remote and greatest of all Caribbean underwater adventures.
