This dive site, Isla Descubridor Norte, is a wonderful location characterized by a diverse underwater landscape ranging from impressive rock and boulder formations to expansive sandy bottoms. A highlight is the beautiful Posidonia garden found in the shallower parts, offering a vibrant ecosystem. Divers can navigate along the reef structures or explore the sandy areas, with depths gradually increasing from the shallow gardens to the maximum observed depth.
The marine life at Isla Descubridor Norte is abundant and varied. Divers can expect to encounter fascinating creatures such as Rays gliding across the sand, well-camouflaged Scorpion Fishes, elusive Octopus, and various Moray Eels and Conger Eels hiding in crevices. Damsel fishes are also commonly seen flitting among the rocks and Posidonia seagrass, which itself provides a crucial habitat.
The best time to visit this dive site would generally be during the warmer months of late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are most comfortable and marine activity is high. It's an excellent spot for both scuba divers and freedivers, with its varied depths making it suitable for training or relaxed exploration. The beautiful Posidonia meadows also make it highly suitable for snorkelers seeking vibrant shallow ecosystems.
