The waters around the Cuban archipelago are characterized by their gentleness – mild tides and no strong currents -, their warmth over 24ºC all year round, their virgin conditions - no pollution and well – preserved bottoms -, the diversity of its underwater flora and fauna, and the total absence of aggressive animals. The dives zone of Colony is located in the breath-taking paradise in the Punta Frances Marine National Park. There are 56 atractive diving sites, some of them in areas of dense and colorful populations of corals, gorgonians and sponges. Others are located where the drop-off falls sharply, also more than 50 caves, passages and tunnels, coral billocks and valleys are included. The kind of fish varies from one site to another, so we can find schools of tarpons, spadefish, jacks, grunts, schoolmasters and yellowtail snappers. Nassau groupers, black groupers and barracudas are frecuently found, also there are turtles, eagles rays and sometimes sharks. Other diving zones are Los Barcos Hundidos, which are remains of sunken ships scattered on an extensive area betqeen 6 and 9 meters ( 20 or 30 feets) deep, with many schools of fish, including barracudas and stingrays, and a numerous sessile fauna attached to the ships.
