Paraiso Dive is locally owned and operated by Jota — a Cartagena native, born and raised on these islands, and a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer. Every member of the Paraiso team is local to Cartagena. When you dive with us your money stays in the community and supports the people who know and love this reef better than anyone.

We are conveniently accessible whether you are staying in Cartagena city or already at Blue Apple Beach Club on Isla Tierra Bomba — just let us know your situation when you book and we will coordinate everything around you.

We also actively give back to the reef and the community. Paraiso funds 100% of PADI scuba certification training for youth from Isla Tierra Bomba, giving local young people access to their own reef for the first time. We also conduct active lion fish removal dives to protect the ecosystem. When you book with us you are supporting a business that genuinely cares about Cartagena, its people, and its ocean.

What to expect

Your day starts with a private speedboat departure from downtown Cartagena at 7:45am, heading 30 minutes out to Blue Apple Beach Club on Isla Tierra Bomba — your base for the day. From there you'll head out by boat to two dive sites chosen specifically for your experience level and interests. Sites include shipwrecks, coral walls, and remarkable reef systems around Tierra Bomba and Baru islands — including some of the most beautiful, resilient coral in the Caribbean.

After your dives you'll have the rest of the afternoon to enjoy Blue Apple Beach Club — one of Cartagena's most beautiful beachfront resorts — price included in your experience. Enjoy the beach, pool, and resort facilities before the boat takes you back to Cartagena in the late afternoon.

We take a maximum of 6 divers per day trip and maintain a ratio of 1 professional PADI guide per 3 divers. Small groups, personalized service, and no rushing..
