About this dive site

This dive site is accessible from either the Punta de la Mona area or Piedras altas, depending on the current conditions. It’s a narrow fissure within an exposed cliff face that descends significantly, offering beautiful shafts of light – contraluces. Pay close attention to the small marine life surrounding the area while keeping an eye out for the blue hues. The cave itself is densely populated with Astroides calicularis sponges. You may encounter congrios (groupers), octopuses, a plentiful variety of nudibranchs, and occasionally a crab.
