With a short Atlantic coastline and extensive rivers, diving in Suriname offers a mix of coastal and freshwater diving. Popular areas include Galibi Nature Reserve for riverine exploration, and offshore reefs along the Suriname coast. Divers encounter tropical freshwater fish, river turtles, crabs, and shrimp, as well as small coral and rocky reef habitats offshore. With largely untouched ecosystems and low tourist pressure, Suriname scuba diving is ideal for adventurous divers seeking off-the-beaten-path South American experiences.
