Bushnell Ana Valiente is one of the 29 dive sites we run around Isla Fuerte, in the Colombian Caribbean. It sits at a maximum depth of 17 metros and is classified as Avanzado, which makes it a site for advanced divers.
The dive
After a briefing on the boat, you descend along the wall or pinnacle into the open blue. At around 17 meters the light is bright and the coral gardens are full of small reef life. A typical dive here lasts 40 to 50 minutes, and your guide adapts the route to the current and the conditions of the day.
In March, April and May the visibility is at its best, sometimes so clear you can choose your entry from the surface.
What you'll see
Divers regularly encounter here: Corales: Gorgonias, siderastrea, montastrea. Rayas latigo, tiburon nodriza, jureles, tortuga carey, tiburon martillo, macarelas, sierras, pargos, meros, medregales, peces angel, pez leon, cabrita amarilla, morenas, tortuga caguama, atun, delfines, pez trompeta, pejepuerco, pez ballesta, pez ballesta real, pez ballesta reina.
