Local Intel For Puerto Cabello (Isla Larga)
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This is primarily a scuba outing. The draw is the reef-and-wreck mix plus the chance of varied reef life rather than a single signature feature.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target. The site is better treated as a scuba-first boat dive.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only worth considering in very calm conditions near the surface; the main value is below the waterline.
