Excellent place to have fun.... snorkeling, shallow diving or enjoying the Caribbean sun
Escambrón Marine Park offers divers of all levels an up-close-and personal look at juvenile green sea turtles, a variety of fish species including bar jack, blue tang, angel fish, box, puffer, and flat fish. Special guests occasionally surprise us, like octopus, eels, manatees, spotted eagle rays, and whiptail stingrays. The soft grass and sand bottom create a unique dive experience with rays of light creating an ethereal mood. Mornings are best for low winds. Enter a sloping, sandy bottom from either beach. Bathhouse a distant walk, but shower available near the dive site. For PADI Discover SCUBA Dives and PADI courses, Adventure Mermaid offers excellent service, new and well maintained equipment, air from a certified gas blender, and a professional Crew.
