Blowing Rock, Little Corn
Top 1 in Top 6 Best Dive Sites in Nicaragua
Blowing Rock is one of the Best Dive Sites in Nicaragua. This massive pinnacle of volcanic stones, located around 7 miles (11 kilometers) from Corn Island, draws a plethora of aquatic life. The pinnacle's base is around 80 feet (24 meters) in height and soars upwards, breaking the surface to form a little rocky island.
Many nurse sharks and huge southern stingrays can be seen resting or swimming along the bottom. Passing reef sharks and eagle rays can be seen as you spiral upwards. There is a lot of fish swarming around the pinnacle, including schools of snapper and African pompano. Great Barracuda can be spotted hovering among the shallow rocks, and large angelfish and parrotfish add color to the scene. Many spotted drums can be seen hiding under ledges, as well as gigantic eels, lobster, and crabs in cracks and crevices.
