Dive operator/sites in Cartagena?

please recommend a good dive operator and dive sites to see (possibly an artificial wreck) in Cartagena, Colombia. Thank you in advance.

There is no diving in Cartagena per se unless you like looking at turds and dead bodies through the murk. You can dive at the Islas del Rosario, which is about an hour boat ride from Colombia.

For really good Colombian diving, though, go to San Andres, Providencia, or dive off Parque Tayrona from Taganga.

well, I stopped by this place inside the old city and they were very nice. They seemed professional. There was one girl, I think European, that spoke English. I spoke to them alot and they were very nice. I didn't go diving with them because I ran out of time to do it on my trip. This was back in January. Here is all their information:

Diving Planet (centro de buceo diving planet)
Calle Estanco del aguardiente No. 5-94
(like I said, inside the old city)
tel. 6642171
www.divingplanet.org
email: info at divingplanet.org

their prices they gave me for a 2 tank dive were good. normal.

I donknow about it there. Aren't the currents super strong and could get swept out to sea along with all the turds and dead bodies??

get down, get down. are you afraid of the boogie monster?

Thanks Megs. I did a dive a few years ago from a PADI agency next to Riquissimo, they were good but no wreck dives. It's a nice boat ride to 2 islands, 2 dives, and food in between.
