Night Dive
Watch the beautiful sunset as the boat cruises into Hol Chan, a marine reserve situated on the world’s second largest reef. When the sun goes down, we switch on our flashlights, fall back into the water and see the nocturnal marine life come alive as they begin their day under the sea.
Let the beam of your light guide the snappers to feed on small marine life, or to check out the basket starfish that does her ‘morning’ stretch only after sunset. Be thrilled by the presence of an octopus who changes his color as he lurks along or catch the sleepy sea turtle taking a nap wedged under her rock. Experience the bio-luminescence that is most visible 3 days before and after the full moon – remember to wave your arm through the water and you’ll see a trail of sparkles light up before you.
Come with Somos to enjoy this underwater journey in the Caribbean realm in a different way to begin your amazing day full of new experiences.
