A large group of islands with a diverse history based from days of exploration as man expanded his horizons in search of silver and gold, spices and land. Situated in clear and warm azure waters, divers will find endless treasures shaped and polished by nature for millions of years. There are canyons and caves, sand chutes, mountain walls, warm water springs and coral formations whose textures and colors can never be forgotten. All this is home to a spectacular diversity of sea plants and tropical fish, from sponges and snappers to barracuda, shark and octopus. Explore not only the reefs, but also the wrecks of hundreds of ships, many of them centuries old, sent to the bottom by storms, pirates and enemy fire.
