🇬🇹 Guatemala
Guatemala is a smaller, less frequent scuba destination, but it has solid coastal diving options on the Caribbean side. Divers typically base themselves around the eastern departments (for example Izabal), with access from ports and towns near the Caribbean Sea. Expect saltwater dives in tropical conditions, usually with warm water and visibility that can vary with weather and season. Most sites are coastal or nearshore, and conditions can be more demanding in rougher periods (current, surge). If you’re traveling for diving, plan around the Caribbean coast and confirm day-by-day logistics with local centers, since options are more limited than in nearby well-known reef hubs.
