About Punta Perdiz

At Punta Perdiz, entry is made from the beach on the eastern side of the Bay of Pigs at Playa Giron. Once in the water it is best to descend into 4m of water and head west towards the reef wall. The sea floor steps down after around 100m from 6m to 12m and then descends into the blue at an ever increasing gradient before dropping away almost vertically to 300m+. In 20 metres of water there are small caverns and overhangs to explore which house sweepers and glassfish. Bannerfish and all manner of butterflyfish cover the reef and we saw a huge pufferfish almost a metre in length nestling in the reef overhangs. Although we didn't see any, the deep blue water off the wall looked perfect for pelagics (marine life which live in open water) and barracuda are common here. Gently swim back up the reef wall for an easy exit to the beach.
