About this site
Big Corn Island sits in the Caribbean Sea off the eastern coast of Nicaragua, and dive sites around it are reached by short boat rides from the island's shore. The waters here are part of a broader area of reef and patch structures typical of the Corn Islands, a pair of small islands known mainly for their relative isolation compared to the Nicaraguan mainland.
