Blue Wall — Two-Tank Wall Dive

5 hoursMax 6Challenging

Before you book this one

Open Water certification and recent experience required. DO NOT FLY FOR AT LEAST 18 HOURS after multi-tank diving (DAN). Wall diving is unforgiving of poor buoyancy — if you have not dived in over a year we will ask you to do a refresher first.

The Pared Azul drops from around fifteen metres into open blue with no bottom in sight. Two tanks on the wall, with eagle rays, turtles and barracuda in the current and a coral face going down forever.

What you do

  • Two tanks on the island’s signature wall
  • Vertical reef face from 15 m into the blue
  • Eagle rays, hawksbill turtles, big schooling jacks
  • Visibility that routinely exceeds 25 m

As a private booking

Private guide, a private boat, and a nitrox fill for longer bottom time.

Practical notes for San Andrés

  • You need a tourist card to fly here. Every visitor buys a Tarjeta de Turismo at the departure airport before boarding — Colombians included. Keep it; you need it to leave. Budget roughly US$30 and confirm the current price when you book.
  • This is Raizal land. The islands have their own Afro-Caribbean Raizal people, language and Baptist church tradition, distinct from mainland Colombia. Residency is legally restricted to protect it. Learn the difference — it is the most interesting thing about the place.

A coral islet of coconut palms and blinding white sand fifteen minutes offshore, ringed by water in three separate shades of turquoise. It is the postcard, it is busy, and it is still worth it.
