Isla Barú is an advanced dive to 37 meters around this island south of Cartagena in Colombia's Caribbean. The island's reef system drops into deep waters with impressive wall sections covered in sea fans, barrel sponges, and hard coral species. The deeper profiles attract larger marine species including reef sharks, eagle rays, and schools of horse-eye jacks. Isla Barú's position between the open Caribbean and the coastal shelf creates productive diving conditions, making it one of the premier advanced dive destinations accessible from Cartagena.
