This striking geological formation serves as the primary structure for exploration, providing diverse contours and surfaces for marine life to flourish. There is no specific historical background provided for Cayo del Agua, focusing instead on its natural allure.
The site boasts beautiful and extensive coral and sponge growth that blankets the rock formation, creating a vibrant habitat. It is teeming with loads of reef fish, and divers can frequently encounter large schools of various species. Notably, Atlantic Spadefish are a common sight and are often quite curious, approaching divers for closer inspection.
