Bajón del Río

This dive site, Bajón del Río, features three massive mushroom-shaped volcanic rocks rising from a sandy seabed at approximately 15 meters. These formations, sculpted by centuries of ocean currents and waves, create a captivating underwater landscape with intriguing overhangs, cracks, and lava rock structures. Navigating the site is straightforward, with the rocks providing clear points of reference. The lack of significant currents makes this an approachable site. The area is rich in marine biodiversity. Divers can expect to encounter schools of bream, dreamfish, and jacks hovering around the rock formations. Barracudas and amberjacks patrol the open water above, while moray eels, lobsters, nudibranchs, and prawns find refuge in the crevices and cracks. Rays can be spotted resting on the sandy bottom. The best time to visit Bajón del Río is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer), when water visibility is typically at its best and marine life is most active. For freedivers, the moderate depth and calm conditions make this a great option for a relaxed dive. Divers should remember to check the weather conditions before their dive and maintain a safe distance from marine life.
