About this dive site

This dive site, Siete Picados, is a local marine park located around seven small limestone islets. The area has benefited greatly from a strict policy prohibiting fishing and anchoring, which has fostered healthy marine life. Divers can expect to encounter an abundance of reef fish, including groupers, sweetlips, batfish, angel fish, clown fish, and many more. Strong tidal currents are characteristic of this location, creating excellent drift diving conditions. Notably, a large school of barracudas has recently established itself as a permanent resident at Siete Picados.
