In Cayo Largo del Sur, diving zone is divided in three areas:

The first one is in the nearby of the Cayo, with typical coral seabed, reefs and channels that starting at 18 meters (859 feet) forms a curious sandy hollow that descends to 33 meters (108 feet) and later ascends to form large coral mountains. Brain coral, columns, sheets, stars, sea fans, and many other species abound. Fish are represented by numerous coral species. In some seasons it's frequent to see turtles, shads, bishops and skates. In the rocky hollows, there are lobster, crab, and morays.

The second, close to Cayo Rosario, 29 Km. (18 miles) to the west, with a very peculiar seabed, with an average depth of 18 meters (59 feet) where coral hillocks form a real labyrinth within which swim large schools of fish.

The third is 48 Km (30 miles) to the northeast, near the head of Cayo Sigua and Cayo Blanco situated in the western border of the Gulf of Cazones. There are spectacular wall dive sites, which fall vertically starting at 15 meters (49 feet) to more than 200 meters (656 feet) deep. On them you'll observe large tubular sponges in the shape of baskets and branches, spectacular sea fans, and black coral colonies. Many coral fish hunt all over the wall.
