This dive site, Piedra La Ahogada, is a notable submerged rock off the central coast of Venezuela. Divers typically begin their descent to the bottom, around 25 meters, then ascend in a spiral around the rock to its tip at 10 meters. The dive usually concludes by exploring the adjacent reef to the left before surfacing in the sandy area where the boat anchors. There is no specific history or story provided for the site.
The main highlight of Piedra La Ahogada is the resident Moray Eel, affectionately known as "Godzilla," which is an impressive three meters in length and often found in the background. The site is also home to distinctive spiral corals, typical of deeper water environments, along with various other reef fish and marine life common to the Caribbean.
The best time to visit Piedra La Ahogada is generally during the dry season when visibility is typically at its best, though no specific months are provided. Divers should focus on the unique spiral navigation and keep an eye out for Godzilla. For freedivers, the site's depths from 10m to 21m make it suitable for exploration, particularly around the rock's shallower tip.
