Closed reefs?

[scubaNYC16]

Someone just said that Colombia and Palancar are closed for August and September? I thought the reef closure was over and with no cruise ships and less divers, why would they need to do this now?

No matter as there will be plenty areas open for you to have a funtastic time! When in doubt, go south....very far south

Palancar caves down to Chun Chacaab is closed till October first. Maracaibo (deep) is still open and everything from Palancar Horseshoe and North is open.
It's an expensive trip down to Maracaibo with a partial load and it is a deep dive.

I stand corrected, I was in error going off memory, I thought Maracaibo remained open, obviously not. Thank you for posting a clean copy of the closure notice. It would be helpful if the MODs would post it as a sticky as this question will come up again especially when the great white north starts to travel again
