About this site

White Holes is a reef dive site off Little Corn Island, a small island reached by boat from Big Corn Island on Nicaragua's Caribbean coast, where dive sites are scattered across coral formations and rocky reef patches typical of this part of the western Caribbean. The site tops out at a shallow maximum depth of around 9 metres over a reef bottom, but it is rated advanced. Divers have reported barracuda, eagle rays, nurse sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, triggerfish, and even whale sharks passing through the area.
