Before you arrive

Access notes

Use a qualified Taganga operator; exact site selection is daily. Reconfirm Tayrona closure status, certification, current, depth, entry/exit and emergency plan. The displayed coordinate is deliberately approximate and never for navigation.

Plan within your training

Conditions and hazards

Seasonal current and upwelling, surge, boat traffic, reef contact and depth. Advanced sites may involve drift or decompression exposure below recreational limits.

At the site

Facilities and support

Current Taganga operators advertise boats, rental gear, training, onboard oxygen and communications; a chamber is reported in Santa Marta.

Independent resource notice

This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
