El Salvador is a small country located in Central America with a land area of 21,000 Km2 and beautiful lakes and beaches. Los Cobanos (located in the Pacific Ocean) is one of the most beautiful diving places and it is located to 80 Km from San Salvador. You can visit one of the diving centers in San Salvador and make arrangements to dive in Los Cobanos. However, it is not recommended to dive in that place during the winter season (April to November) because the visibility is almost zero. During the summer if the conditions are right you can see Morays Eals, Angel Fishes, Eagle Mantas, Green Turtles, Lobsters, etc. If you are going to visit El Salvador and you want to practice scuba diving during the winter season is better to visit Coatepeque or Ilopango Lakes. Coatepeque lake is located in Santa Ana (60 km from San Salvador) surrounded by Cerro Verde and the Santa Ana and Izalco Volcanoes, into this crater with lots of water life you can see Catfish, Guapote, Zebra fish, etc. Ilopango Lake is located in San Salvador and it is the biggest lake in El Salvador, It has big islands and big cliffs going down. One of the most beautiful places to dive in Ilopango Lake is Los Cerros Quemados.

If you don’t know any dive center and you want to dive, I recommend to "PRO DIVERS" which is the best PADI dive center located in 79 Av. Sur, Colonia La Mascota #6, San Salvador. Tel (503) 211-2218; or you can send them an e-mail to prodivers@integra.com.sv. They have very professionals dive masters and instructors.
