About this dive site

This dive site, also known as The cave of Juanito or Shrimp Cave, is a classic location with a rich underwater environment. The anchor point is formed by a rocky platform situated approximately 18 meters below the surface. A vertical wall extends downwards to 30 meters, leading to a sandy bottom teeming with Garden Eels. Along this wall, divers can encounter several species of brown fish including negra, pico paco and Murion, as well as viejas, zebra bream, groupers, and numerous green pejes. For more experienced divers, there are two submerged tributes: The Virgin, at 35 meters, and a dolphin tribute to Jacques Cousteau, located at 38 meters – both placed by the World Association of Silence. This dive offers a fascinating exploration of underwater habitats and diverse marine life.
