Description

SCUBA DIVING IN SIGUANEA (EL COLONY) – ISLE OF YOUTH: Welcome to Siguanea, one of the most fascinating diving destinations in Cuba, located in the southern part of the Isle of Youth (Isla de la Juventud). This site, internationally renowned for hosting events such as Fotosub, offers divers an unforgettable experience among crystal-clear waters, untouched coral reefs, and mysterious shipwrecks steeped in legend. Your adventure begins in the Punta Francés Marine National Park, a natural paradise that combines calm turquoise waters and exceptional visibility—often exceeding 30 meters. Here, nature reigns supreme. You'll glide over majestic coral formations, swim through underwater canyons and tunnels, and observe an incredible variety of marine life, from colorful reef fish to lobsters, turtles, and even rays. The calcareous rock formations characteristic of the island have, over centuries, created an intricate network of underwater caves and tunnels. These same caves once served as secret hideouts for pirates and corsairs who navigated the Caribbean—today, they are a thrilling playground for divers eager to explore Cuba’s natural and historical treasures beneath the sea.

A Paradise for Wreck Lovers: For those who love history and adventure, the area known as Bajo de Zambo is a true underwater museum. Over 70 shipwrecks rest here, silent witnesses to centuries of maritime history. Exploring these wrecks, now covered in corals and teeming with marine life, is a unique and emotional experience that connects divers with the mysteries of the deep.

Dive into the magic of Siguanea and El Colony, where nature, history, and adventure blend seamlessly to create one of the most spectacular underwater experiences in the Caribbean.
