I dove at the Rosarios. The viz was terrible but the flora was lovely. I was told that the waters are always kind of murky because of river runoff and confluence even that far out. The scuba op guys led me to believe that it would be even worse near Cartagena. I also found the price I was paying to be quite outrageous, particularly because the dives were very close to the island, strict to 45 minutes, nothing extra special in anyway, small boats though in apparently good repair. YMMV

I guess San Andres would be more on par with average Caribbean diving then?
That is my understanding.
San Andres and Providencia are on par with superior Caribbean diving, but you need to take a plane to get there since it is closer to Nicaragua. Isla Rosario (across Cartagena) is quite below average. Overfishing, but corals are beautiful. Cartagena - I would not dive there, due to pollution.
