This dive site is located within the San Esteban National Park, specifically on Isla Larga, one of several cays in Puerto Cabello. This area has become a popular destination for divers since the 1970s. Vipdiving specializes in exploring these waters and particularly the shipwrecks found here. These wrecks, mostly from World War II, rest on a solid seabed that now serves as a habitat for a diverse marine ecosystem. You might encounter seahorses, barracuda, parrotfish, and starfish during your dive. The area offers a fascinating glimpse into underwater history and abundant marine life.
