This dive site offers a unique and rewarding experience. The dive begins with a long, shallow exploration between schools of fish. At the end of a prominent rock formation (Peñon), divers encounter a wall where maneuvering through dense schools of fish is part of the adventure. The area boasts numerous cracks and crevices, providing habitat for a diverse array of marine life including electric rays, conger eels, moray eels, algae, anemones, crabs, nudibranchs, and more. Keep an eye on the blue water – rays are frequently spotted in this zone. This dive is suitable for both refresh dives or extended explorations lasting over an hour, allowing you to fully appreciate the variety of species present. It’s a fantastic opportunity to observe marine life in its natural environment.
