About Guaraguao

Guaraguao is a shallow reef inside Cotubanama National Park, reached by a short Bayahibe boat run. The site mixes coral on sand with a historic display of cannons, cannonballs, and muskets, so the dive feels part reef, part underwater museum. It is easy to read for newer divers and snorkellers while still offering plenty of fish and colour.
