About Baring
Baring is a boat-access wall dive off the northwest side of Olango Island. A broad sandy slope drops into a deep wall with superb corals and big-fish action, so the site is best for experienced divers who are comfortable planning around strong, unpredictable currents and deeper water. The shallows are sparse, so the payoff comes once you commit to the wall and keep the dive disciplined.
