Diving the South West Cay

Smaller cays surround Guanaja with new dives sites being discovered every day. South West Cay is home to some of the coolest dives on the southern side of the island. A real hidden gem and one of the Caribbean’s best wreck dives are located here, the Jado Trader; this wreck is a 240-foot (73.2 meters) freighter with one the most abundant artificial reefs in the islands. Several beautiful coral pinnacles can also be found near the area. Vertigo is another fantastic dive site with some of the most jaw-dropping drop-offs you’ll find.
