The isolated Archipelago of Los Roques, situated 95 miles north of Marine
Reserve in the Caribbean and 100 miles East of Bonaire, is the oldest and
largest National Marine Reserve in the Caribbean. The archipelago is
comprised of 850 sq. miles of warm azure waters, strewn with 350 islands,
islets, refs and spectacular pure white talcum soft beaches. Diving in the
Los Roques archipelago is the very essence of a diving adventure.
This is the kind of diving found in the Caribbean 20 years ago, yet almost
non-existent today. It is a paradise of secluded and, until now unknown
reefs, alive with the unfretted wilderness of nature. Huge amounts of
marine life, walls of soft corals and sea whips descend to more than 200
ft. Along the flanks of submerged mountains, snappers, groupers and jacks
gaze while barracudas cruise in precise formation and stinFFEC8Bs lurk on the
sandy bottom. A wide variety of dive sites: shallow reefs, perpendicular
drop-offs, pinnacles, caves that harbor sharks and crustaceans of every types,
hide in cervices among forests of sponges, all sites reminiscent of everything
the Galapagos to Bonaire. Los Roques indeed provides the most unique,
remote and greatest of all Caribbean Underwater adventures.
