Coral Lagoon Lodge and Dive Camp - Venezuela
Check out the Coral Lagoon Lodge Slide Show!
The steep coastline of the Henri Pittier National Park offers some of the best of Venezuela's diving and snorkeling sites. Whether you are an experienced diver looking for new challenges or a total beginner interested in a full diving course or a snorkeling induction, we offer a professional hands on service with multilingual guides.
 Diving, Snorkeling and Kayaking at our lodge in the coral lagoon of "La Cíenaga" is just a 20 minute boat ride from a local fishing village. La Cíenaga is a tranquil lagoon nestled alongside the mountainous cloud forests of Henri Pittier's National Park and the Caribbean coastline. The scenic journey is just 3 hrs from Caracas' international airport. The lagoon and its bordering mangroves teem with underwater life - snapper, parrot fish, angel fish, trumpet fish, moray eels, lobsters, sea turtles and octopus amongst others - not to mention the many types of flourishing corals and sponges.
 Just a small distance from the lodge there are some unique dive sites where the accented coastline hides underwater grottos and canyons waiting to be explored. Nearby there are two locally renowned wrecks, the 'Carmen Fabiana', an impressive 10,000 ton freighter laying at 30 meters and the 'Gran Roque' a typical tug boat laying at 18 meters. If you don't want to go too far, you can simply take a "shore dive" straight from the lodge's doorstep to explore the abundant coral and marine life or take the dinghy to other dive sites close by.
We work with PADI, SSI and NAUI qualified instructors that offer scuba diving courses and discovery dives.
 A dinghy and kayaks are also available for your use and are great to explore the surrounding mangroves and the wildlife they sustain.
We offer accommodations in two "lodges", with a total 6 rooms. Each room has a capacity of 2 to 4 people with fans and en-suite facilities. Hammocks, deckchairs, kayaks and snorkeling equipment are available for your enjoyment. Fresh fish meals are served under the shade of the mangrove trees on the water's edge by our multilingual hosts. Due to its secluded remote location The Coral Lagoon lodge is only accessible by boat so often you'll find no other people there except on week-ends and Venezuelan national holidays!

Sunbathing and the snorkeling were excellent we got to see sea horses (really cute), sea cucumbers and zillions of brill fish. It's like swimming through an aquarium!

The two wrecks we saw were fantastic; it was amazing to explore the engine rooms and holds! The fish and the wildlife has certainly moved in!
