About this site
Dharma Reef lies off Big Corn Island, part of the Corn Islands in the Caribbean waters of Nicaragua. Dive operations on the island typically run out of the small port town on the northwest side, reaching sites scattered along the surrounding reef system by boat. It's generally rated an intermediate dive, and divers have reported the occasional hammerhead shark passing through the area.
