The marine ecosystem at 3 El Acuario is rich and diverse, featuring an abundance of species. Divers are delighted by sightings of spetons, corvinas, and groupers, often observed gracefully navigating between waters.

Its accessible depths and lively biodiversity make it an excellent choice for both scuba divers and freedivers looking for a comfortable yet exhilarating underwater adventure.
