Plongée à Corn Islands — Nicaragua
The Corn Islands are Nicaragua's Caribbean secret — a pair of islands with healthy reefs, warm water, and virtually no dive crowds. Big Corn and Little Corn offer reef diving, a Spanish galleon wreck, and a pace of life that the rest of the Caribbean lost decades ago. All at Central American prices.
