Offshore Scuba Diving
Explore pristine reefs and encounter breathtaking marine life, from schooling tuna and sea turtles to humpback whales with their calves, reef sharks, and giant manta rays. Even the tiniest seahorses hide among the vibrant reefs.
Description
The stuff scuba dreams are made up…
These offshore dive sites offer both virgin reefs and pelagic big life encounters worthy of Nat Geo documentary footage; Schooling Tuna flying past, reefs swarming with sea turtles, Humpback whale mothers introducing their calves to the world, reef sharks resting within the volcanic nooks, giant manta rays visiting the reefs’ cleaning stations to be service by the most intricately colored tropical fish, even the tiniest most delicate sea horse as they hold the reef into which they seem to the untrained eye to disappear.
Our certified and experienced PADI dive staff will lead you through the dive experience of a lifetime and assure that not a single encounter goes missed. Travel out of the protected bay and into the open ocean in style and comfort aboard our custom dive fleet.

Fishing Sites & Seasons
Corbetena: Only 16 miles from the coast, La Corbetena is a truly unique spot for both rod & reel and underwater hunting. The rock formation comes up from the depths with an uncanny ability to hold steady presence of Yellowfin Tuna and other pelagic marine life close to the shore that would otherwise only be found roaming the expanse of the open ocean.
El Banco: Located approximately 32 miles offshore, El Banco is the primo choice location for fishing tournaments. El Banco is our staff’s most recommended site; a stretch of submerged reef famous for its big game such as Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, and large Snappers.
Unnamed: Another favorite of ours is a spot located between La Corbetena and El Banco that has an underwater slope; a favorite feeding location for large schools of tuna.
June to early January: This part of the year boasts the largest catches of Yellowfin Tuna (up to 400 pounds) and other tropical species. The ocean tends to be calmer, well into the 80 degree temps, and visibility can be up to 80 feet at our offshore sites.
January through June: The cooler water brings large Snappers and cold water fish into range along with the visit of Humpback whales that can be observed from the boat and heard underwater. Poor to fair coastal visibility improves quite a bit at offshore sites and can on occasion still reach 50 feet with a green hue to the nutrient rich water.
