Scuba Diving and Snorkeling
|
The Corn Islands are surrounded
by a barrier reef system which
is a unique underwater ecosystem
for snorkeling and scuba
diving. Whether snorkeling from
the beach or on a dive excursion
with one of the local dive
operators, one can expect to see
a wide variety of corals, sponges,
tropical fish, rays, schools of
snapper, turtles and even dolphin.
Those who have never scuba dived before can take advantage of a "discover scuba" course for a one time
scuba experience or enroll in a PADI dive certification course which can be completed in 3-4 days.
