Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Playa Lagun
Playa Lagun is at the South end of Lagun. It's more of a family beach, but still with world-class diving only a few minutes out. Snorkelling: nice in the bay, with cliffs and rocks overgrown with coral and sponges.
Sometimes there are turtles swimming in the bay.
The drop-off start approx. 150-200 m from the beach, at a depth of 10 m. Slope 45 degrees outward, till a depth of 30 m, afterwards steeper.
Beautiful coral, growing in mushroom shapes, lots of sea-life.
South end of Lagun. Good parking facilities at the beach, from where you can enter the water. Swim out the bay to reach the drop-off (appr. 200 m).
Northwest of Willemstad, travel 12.3 km West on Weg Naar Westpunt from the Weg Naar Hato intersection to San Pedro. Turn left to head toward Soto. Travel 15 km to reach the intersection shown below in the village of Lagun.

It is what it is. It's an old quarry, dive site. A cabin cruiser, cars, trenches. Great aquatic life. Depth is averaging 25 ft and I'm there all the time. The guy who said 15 ft must have been in the fishing lake. Trenches run to 60 or so in spots. It's nothing fancy but excellent for the beginner diver. Have the place to yourself! It's one of the best places in Ohio, so it's nice for people who are close. Great rock formations and the trenches are very scary. 4 ft catfish! Night diving and winter diving is permitted. Don’t be harsh. It's Ohio fresh water diving. It is what it is.
