About this site
Los Pinos lies in Cuban waters of the Caribbean Sea, off the north coast of the island near the Jardines del Rey archipelago, among the reef and cay systems that stretch along this section of Cuba's northern shelf. The site is shallow, with a maximum depth of around 4 metres, making it suited to easy, relaxed dives over coral formations. Divers have reported elkhorn coral, blade fire coral, and massive starlet coral forming the reef structure, along with fish including stoplight parrotfish, schoolmaster snapper, bluestriped grunt, and yellowtail damselfish. Atlantic blue tang, black triggerfish, and Brazilian ocean surgeonfish have also been noted moving through the shallows here.
