About this site
This site in Cuba's Jardines de la Reina offers pristine coral gardens teeming marine life. Healthy elkhorn and staghorn corals dominate, with frequent sightings of reef sharks, groupers, and colorful tropical fish. The gentle current makes for easy drift diving along vibrant walls and swim-throughs. Crystal visibility often exceeds 30 meters, showcasing the thriving ecosystem. Nurse sharks rest under ledges while hawksbill turtles glide past. Ideal for photographers and divers seeking untouched Caribbean beauty.
