Cayo Guillermo is one of the tropical islands which makes up the Jardines del Rey archipelago which lies off of the north coast of Cuba. It is known for its long stretches of sandy beaches, sparkling waters and flourishing coral reefs. The handful of dive centres and dive resorts take divers out on small speed boats to see the best of what is on offer here. There is also the possibility to explore this area by liveaboard. Diving here is incredibly relaxing as the conditions are usually calm, no currents, great visibility and a vibrant marine environment to admire. Dive over the rainforests of soft corals and gardens of hard corals and sponges, and keep an eye out for Nurse Sharks and Green Sea Turtles who tend to pop up.
The topography underwater here provides numerous different diving experiences for divers of different interests. The main features on the dives here are; great visibility, calm waters, rocky topography densely packed with corals and other reef species, sandy bottoms which hold some fun species to spot and more! There are some great dive sites also for dive courses, night dives and almost all dive sites are great for underwater photographers. The dive sites are reached either by speed boat or liveaboard.
What enhances the beauty of diving here is the crystal-clear water; with visibility averaging around 30 meters/98 feet, the calm waters as there is a real lack of currents here, and the warm waters; the water temperatures here range between 23°C–29°C/73°F–84°F.
Between November and April is the dry season, which is also the time of the year with the best, calmest, and warmest water conditions. The other months of the year are generally wetter, but due to the warm waters it is still possible to dive.
