About this site
Coral Negro I in Cuba's Jardines De La Reina offers pristine coral formations teeming marine life. The site features dramatic black coral stands, vibrant sponges, and schools of tropical fish. Expect strong currents that attract larger pelagics like sharks and barracuda. The steep walls and overhangs create an exciting drift dive with excellent visibility. Healthy reefs and minimal human impact make this a top Caribbean destination for advanced divers.
