About this dive site

This dive site, Canto del Mero, is located on a beautiful coral reef ledge that gracefully connects with Mangle Island. This geological feature creates a stunning underwater landscape leading to deeper waters.

The reef is teeming with hundreds of species of vibrant reef animals. Divers can expect to encounter a diverse range of marine life, from small cleaner fish diligently working on the reef, to larger species such as groupers and snappers patrolling the waters. The corals themselves form imposing structures, providing a rich habitat for a myriad of invertebrates and colorful reef fish.

Both scuba divers and freedivers will appreciate the varied depths, from a shallow tip at 6 meters perfect for extensive exploration, down to 21 meters for deeper adventures. Divers should bring a camera to capture the impressive coral formations and abundant marine biodiversity.
