This dive site offers a half-day experience centered around two distinct locations. The first dive takes place at Tackle Box, followed by a relaxing surface interval of approximately 1 to 1.5 hours in San Pedro, providing an opportunity for lunch, exploration, or simply enjoying the boat’s amenities. The second dive destination is Esmeralda, a well-known site. This tour focuses on exploring these two locations and provides ample time for rest and refreshments between dives.
