Bushnell canto de manis is one of the 29 dive sites we run around Isla Fuerte, in the Colombian Caribbean. It sits at a maximum depth of 18 - 30 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 30 meters the light softens and the bigger animals appear. 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.
