Cartagena: Dive around the shipwrecks of Barú Island｜Colombia

Please kindly recheck the pickup details, meeting point, and session time stated on the voucher for your selected package.

Itinerary
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Bocagrande or from the agreed meeting point in Cartagena de Indias. From there, we'll take a one-hour journey by minibus to the Barú Peninsula.

Once we reach our destination, we'll hop onto a speedboat and cruise across the waters of the Caribbean Sea to the Los Velázquez water park.

If you're beginners, don't worry. Before making the first dive, we'll give you a short lesson and practice the basic techniques in an area with calm waters. Then it will be time to head out in search of the AC Quindío, a ship sunk by the Colombian Navy in 2005.

With our gear on, we'll dive into the water to explore every nook and cranny of the ship. We'll go inside and explore its various rooms. When the pressure gauge indicates it's time, we'll return to the surface. In total, each dive will last approximately 30 minutes.

After the dive, you'll have three hours of free time to recharge your batteries and relax on your own. We'll wrap up the activity by taking you back to Cartagena after nine hours.

Options
When booking, you can choose between different options. Below, you can see the details of each option:

Scuba diving with 1 dive + Lunch: After a 30-minute scuba dive, you'll satisfy your appetite with a typical lunch consisting of various options of fresh fish, chicken, or a vegetarian option. After lunch, you'll have some free time to relax at the Barú beach club, perfect for sunbathing on comfortable loungers.
Scuba diving with 2 dives + lunch: the most complete option! This option includes two scuba dives of 30 minutes each, a delicious lunch at the beach club, and free time to relax on its lounge chairs.
Certified divers
If you have any international scuba diving certification, you must bring it with you on the day of the excursion. Uncertified divers will not enter the shipwreck but will explore it from the outside.

Meanwhile, children between 3 and 12 years old must have a PADI certification. Otherwise, a simpler scuba diving activity will be carried out.

Pickup
This activity includes pick-up from hotels located in the Bocagrande area. If you are staying in another area of Cartagena de Indias, you should go to the Torre del Reloj landmark at the indicated time.
