Discovered by Christopher Columbus and named for Queen Isabella of Spain, Les Jardines de la Reina is a 75 mile long archipelago of coral reefs and mangrove islands situated about 60 miles south of Cuba. Declared as a marine park in 1996 it is regarded by many as a benchmark of the original status of coral reefs as found by Columbus in the early years of discovery. The top reef predators including sharks, groupers, barracuda, tarpon and jacks are prevalent on virtually every dive. The mangroves provide shelter as a nursery for young fish populations and encounters with salt water crocodiles may also be experienced.
