About this dive site

This dive site, known as Piedras Rotas or the Twin Towers, features a unique reef system comprised of medium and small islets. Located within these islets are two submerged towers, remarkably similar to each other, situated at depths ranging from 15 to 7 meters – a feature that evokes a striking visual resemblance to their namesake. A tunnel connects the towers, offering divers an intriguing passage between them. The site's appeal lies in its shallow areas, where the irregular rock formations create unexpected underwater passages teeming with marine life. While the maximum depth is 20 meters, much of the vibrant activity occurs at shallower levels. This dive provides a rewarding experience suitable for both beginners and those seeking enjoyment in the sea due to its relatively simple conditions.
