International Diving Centre Cayo Levisa

On the southern side of the island, there is a small jetty (your arrival point) that is also home to the dive boats – large, purpose built day boats that have plenty of deck space for your kit (Cressi gear, all new in 2009, is offered here if you need it) . Powerful engines will transport you quickly to the dive sites around the island – this is a purpose-built dive destination.

Staggering walls, shallower reefs and coral gardens that are alive with marine life – this is a designated no-fishing zone – and there is even a resident family of manatees living in the lagoon – a fantastic diving or snorkelling opportunity if they decide to let you know where they are!

By the very nature of the island, diving here is peaceful – small groups of divers will be delighted by the underwater landscape and is inhabitants – fish that come so close that they bump your mask, and even the cleaner wrasse come and see if they can get a meal off you! Giant barracuda, huge morays, snapper, tuna, jacks and the like will be there on every dive, and you can even see your lunch on the walls – huge lobsters watching you fin by.

Whilst this is a tiny resort, the diving centre is well equipped and the safety standards and procedures are all in place. Oxygen is found on the boats and in the centre, and a decompression chamber is a short helicopter ride away.

Dive up to 4 times a day here, including night diving of course (the Instructors are resident on the island) or for the less energetic, the jetty is also home to a substantial sailing yacht that can take you around the island on a sunset cruise. Do as much, or as little as you like, but be warned – you won't want to leave!

  • Outside channel - Cayo Levisa

    Outside channel - Cayo Levisa

    An awesome dive on the outer wall of the offshore reef. Deep, dark, atmospheric and stuffed to the brim with schools of large snapper, spadefish, jacks and barracuda. With the floor dropping off dramatically below 50 metres, this is a great wall dive.

  • Inside channel - Cayo Levisa

    Inside channel - Cayo Levisa

    A deep wall, but on the inside of the offshore reef. Dropping down beyond 30 metres, with fascinating rock formations bedecked with plentiful hard and soft corals, this is a great dive.

  • Cayo Levisa coral garden

    Cayo Levisa coral garden

    At a maximum depth of 14 metres, don't be drawn into a false sense that this will be a disappointing dive. Bright sunlight filters down into the water, and the whole dive is in perfect visibility and daylight.
