Recommended sites:
The Crown - 30 meters. Characterized by spectacular narrow coral channels, more than 10 meters deep at some points, dropping sharply down to an extensive sandy plateau. You can observe groupers, barracuda, many coral species, lobster, crab, and sometimes in winter, the majestic whale shark.
Camaroneros I and II - 10-25 meters. Identified by two fishing boats, intentionally sunk and turned into attractive artificial reefs sheltering an abundant coral fauna.
Kerchief Point - 30 meters. The coral bottom is very beautiful thanks to an exuberant fauna featuring gorgonians and corals. Their uninhibited growth has created deep narrow channels abounding in fish, crustaceans and mollusks of impressive shapes and colors.
