A world under water:
Get to know a completely
different world: The underwater world.
Around Choroní you can find
various different locations in which you can see the world of coral and
fish from up-close. With only a diving mask and snorkel, or with a
complete diving outfit, you'll always see something beautiful.
Snorkeling:
With a diving mask and
snorkel you can very well observe the underwater world in the natural
pool of "Valle Seco". Valle Seco is a beach which you can reach by boat
from Puerto Colombia in about 15 minutes. It is also suitable for
beginners. The natural pool is formed by a coral reef, at about 15
meters from the beach. Maximum depth is about 2,5 meters. Thanks to the
reef there are almost no waves, which makes the snorkeling very easy.
Other good locations for
snorkeling are: Cepe (only if there are few waves) and La Ciénaga.
Scubadiving:
For those who like some
more than snorkeling, there's the possibility to explore the underwater
world using dive equipment. If you have got a diving licence, you can
rent equipment and/or make guided dives.
Diving excursions are
organized by "Puerto Escondido Diving Center" in Cepe. Cepe is a beach
which you can reach by boat in about 30 minutes from Puerto Colombia.
Near Cepe you can find over 15 nice diving spots.
For those who do not have a
diving licence, but are interested in diving, there's the "Discover
Scuba Diving". This is a half-day course
consisting of an introduction-video and pool instruction, after which
you will make a real dive in the Caribbean sea..
Depending on the dive spot
and depth, this dive will take about 30 to 45 minutes.
When possible André,
Cachama Negra's owner, will join you to make underwater pictures.
