About
Calipso Dive Center, Calle 12 No. 1 - 40, ☎ (5) 421 91 46 (roberdive@hotmail.com), [7]. Calipso is the only center that offers a Tayrona Park Safari, where people can spend 2 nights in hammocks on a beautiful beach in the park and dive. People have raved about this experience. The diving is good. They are also pioneering a project to restore coral, which is rapidly degrading worldwide. In conjunction with the C-Force Foundation they are growing coral in a coral nursery. They are the only agency doing this in Colombia and one of the only ones doing this in the world. You can even take a coral growing/ gardening course. The people are really kind and you can stay at the center before your safari. (note per http://www.calipsodivecenter.com.co/en-us/secpages/voluntariado_EN.php it is "4 weeks full program $2.000 U.S. Dollars") Calipso is a member of NAUI, the second largest Scuba Diving Association in the World.
