This dive site, Isla Frijoles, is characterized by an island tip visible from the surface, serving as the central point for the dive. Divers navigate either clockwise or counterclockwise around the island, following the sandy bottom, with the dive direction dictated by the prevailing current. No specific history or story is provided, but its name suggests a small, perhaps bean-shaped, island.
The marine life here is diverse, offering encounters with various shark species and large groupings of snappers, machetes, and jacks. The reef areas also harbor fascinating macro life, including well-camouflaged scorpionfish and unique frogfish.
The best time to visit Isla Frijoles is when conditions allow for comfortable drift diving around the island, optimizing encounters with pelagic and reef species. Its varied depth profile makes it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with the average depth of 10 meters appealing to snorkelers as well. Divers should be prepared for variable currents.
