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.
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 snorkeling and 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.

Meeting and pickup
Please arrive before the 7:45am departure time. There is a small port tax fee to pay upon entry (approximately $4 USD) in cash, Colombian pesos. We will provide pictures of the boat and details for the meeting point when we confirm the trip!
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 snorkel sites en Baru with warm, calm, clear water and shallow coral full of tropical fish, rays, sea turtles, and marine life. A professional snorkel guide is in the water with you the entire time, pointing out marine life and taking plenty of photos and videos of your adventure.
After snorkeling you'll have the rest of the afternoon to enjoy Blue Apple Beach Club — one of Cartagena's most beautiful beachfront resorts — included in your experience. Enjoy the beach, pool, and resort facilities before the boat takes you back to Cartagena in the afternoon.
