The Colombian Caribbean sea is the ideal place to practice diving, where you can see a variety of marine species, enjoy the incredible colors of the sea, immerse yourself in the depths and delight in the beautiful places from sea. We went diving and snorkeling near Cartagena, at the Baru beach, but there are other cities in the north coast of the country that would be a great place for it as well.
You can also go to the Colombian Pacific Coast and enjoy one of the most beautiful places in Colombia, the water here tends to be a little darker, but it is the Pacific Ocean after all.
