Raziščite Bogoto
Bogota je živahno glavno mesto Kolumbije v Andih. Tukaj je veliko zgodovinskih znamenitosti in drugih dejavnosti. Ne leži neposredno ob obali, ampak je najbližja obala zahodna obala, ki meji na Tihi ocean. V Bogoti je več potapljaških centrov, ki ponujajo široko paleto potapljaških tečajev, potapljače pa vodijo tudi na izlete do nekaterih najboljših potapljaških lokacij v Kolumbiji, tako na karibski kot na pacifiški obali. Potapljaški centri in njihova ponudba ustrezajo širokemu krogu potapljačev in zagotavljajo vznemirljivo potapljaško izkušnjo.
Najboljši meseci za potapljanje v Bogoti
Zaradi toplega tropskega podnebja se je v Bogoti mogoče potapljati vse leto. Vode v karibski regiji so najtoplejše, s temperaturo med 27 °C in 30 °C. V pacifiških vodah je razpon večji, med 15 °C in 28 °C. Vidljivost je na obeh območjih nadpovprečna in se giblje med 10 in 30 metri.
