About this dive site

This dive site, Esquina Norte, marks the northernmost point of a reef system in Colombia where the reef platform sharply changes direction. Divers navigate a natural channel formed by large, massive coral formations, extending from 8 to 22 meters deep. The unique topography guides divers through a trajectory abundant with marine life. There is no specific history or story provided for this site.

The channel is a vibrant habitat for diverse marine animals, including impressive Cubera snappers, various rays, agile cobia, bottom-dwelling cod, and schools of jacks. The coral ecosystem is particularly rich between 8 and 12 meters, showcasing magnificent giant elkhorn corals and robust brain corals that form the structural backbone of this thriving reef.

While specific best times are not provided, Caribbean diving is generally good year-round with drier seasons often offering better visibility. This site is excellent for both scuba divers seeking pelagic encounters and freedivers exploring the shallower coral gardens. Its unique channel formation and abundant life promise a rewarding experience for those interested in healthy reef ecosystems and diverse fish species.
