Dive Spot Guide•
Las Coloradas
Shallow reef and tunnel dive in Cayo Coco.
Local operator required
A local operator is the practical default because Las Coloradas is normally visited by boat within the Jardines del Rey dive program.
Boat access, shallow coral heads and small caves make Las Coloradas a flexible scenic dive with mild-current planning.
About Las Coloradas
Las Coloradas is a shallow boat dive in Jardines del Rey where a narrow reef band sits between sand and lava rock, with small caves and tunnels adding texture to the route. The site is appealing because it combines coral heads, overhangs and open-water fish life without turning into a deep technical profile. It works especially well as a flexible, scenic dive for calm Caribbean days, when the shallow coral and the easy boat network make route planning simple.
