San Juan del Sur is a great place to get used to the waters around Nicaragua and to learn about the creatures that live along this country’s stunning coastline. Each spot offers unparalleled underwater opportunities and you can swim with dolphins or simply sigh in wonder at the amazing sea life and ship wrecks that can be found here.
What’s more, there are no jet skis or other modern, noisy equipment in the area.
The waters are mainly used by fishermen, a few swimmers and surfers who usually stay in their own spots, so when you dive you can be confident that the beauty of the ocean is yours to admire at your leisure.
Most of the dive sites are all rocks immerging from the ocean less than a mile from the coastline.
South of San Juan there is “La Paloma” (Dhe dove) only at 30 minutes with the “Panga” (local boat).
Further down to the Costa Rican border you will find “La Flor” (The Flower) just in front of the famous national turtle reserve.
Going north are “Morgan’s Rock” and “Punta Tenoste”.
There's also a ship wreck; a Russian shrimp boat sitting in 52 feet of water (16 meters) at five minutes from La Paloma.
The average depth we dive at is 60 feet, the bottom composition is volcanic rocks, a little current more like surge, and the temperature of the water is 85°F (30°C), except for the months of December to February when it can reach 70°F (20°C).
There is a very generous sea live with all the small color fish (Barbers, Cortez Angelfish, Butterfly fish, Wounded Wrasse, Parrot fish, Trigger fish, Bermuda Chubbs, Blennies and Gobbies), lots of rays (Sand Rays, Spoted Eagle Rays, Southern Sting Rays and Sea Devil Rays), eels (Honey combs, Spotted Eels, Garden Eels and Sea Snakes) and of course big fish and other creatures (like Dolphins, Whales, Dolphin fish, Barracudas, Tarpoons, Horse Tyes Jacks, Black Tunas, Groupers, Scorpion Fish, Star Fish, Lobsters, Octopus, Turtles and all sorts of shells).
