The big schools of tarpon come in February and they start leaving in May. In July and August the ocean is calm and most of the rain happens in these months.

There are plenty of options available, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or a pro diver, there different reef sites all around the island. There are also two wrecks, of which implicate deep and current diving plan, fluctuating between 10m/30 ft and 39m/130 ft. In case there is a strong current, we make drift dive plans, in which the boat constantly follows the diver’s bubbles.
One of the best diving sites is the abandoned oil platform: “Plataforma Tiburón”, located 3 miles away from the island. However, for safety reasons, diving the platform is subject to weather conditions, such as wind, waves and currents. This dive is for advanced and experienced divers, for it requires appropriate techniques, navigation skills and a good air consumption rate. In case the conditions are very good and the guide considers its safe, it will be possible to take less experienced divers with decent diving skills. This dive ought to be in group and with a buddy at all times, there is no solo diving, or decompression diving, unless it is for training in a formal technical diving course.
