Scuba diving in Taganga
Taganga is one of Santa Marta’s diving bases: several dive schools, reefs close by and boats that leave from the village.
Status
Offered before · askThe hostel advertised dive courses in March 2024. Ask whether they still run, and with which dive centre.
Santa Marta’s official tourism guide describes Taganga as a village with several dive schools, where you can get certified or join guided dives on the nearby reefs. Sites it mentions include Granate Bay, with a coral wall of about 20 metres, and Isla Aguja, recommended for experienced divers.
In March 2024 Nirvana advertised dive courses “for all levels” from COP 350,000, including accommodation and breakfast. That offer is historical: message us and we’ll tell you what’s available today, with which dive centre and at what price.
