The Best Diving Spot In The Caribbean
Guanaja is one of the best kept secrets in the Caribbean and its diving is nothing less than world class. The reefs are full of life and the visibility seems virtually unlimited. Regardless of your diving experience you can find a site to fit your comfort level. Your guide during your visit can take you to your dive sites. Your boat for the week can comfortably accommodate up to four divers. For larger groups arrangements can be made with Nautilus Dive Shop on their boat for an additional charge.
