About this dive site

This dive site offers a remarkable Caribbean experience, featuring a spectacular wall of detached rock formations – a truly impressive sight. The dive takes place fully exposed to the open sea, which creates opportunities for encountering pelagic fish like the moonfish, frequently seen in these waters. Beginning at approximately 28 meters (92 feet), divers can explore colonies of Astroides calycularis, a hard coral with distinctive white polyps; their beauty is truly captivating.
