Dive Mayaguana

Dive Mayaguana

Mayaguana is a diverse and unspoiled territory offering a memorable dive experience every time you enter the water. There is no formal dive operation here, but certified or experienced divers can safely explore the surrounding waters with the assistance of local guides. Many of the sites are not officially named, but guides know all the best spots. There are many offshore reefs, some dives are in the 45-60 foot range, but there are more around 70 feet. There are sea caves on the ocean at Northwest Point. Beautiful walls start around 50 feet and then drop to a bottomless chasm. Big sponges and fan coral are everywhere, as well as a large quantity and variety of fish and other marine life. Curious game fish, including wahoo, do not usually shy away from human contact, perhaps because it is an unfamiliar sight to them. Tanks and weights are available through Baycaner Beach Resort, but you’ll have to bring your own gear.
