Arco Iris, Brumel Island
★★★★☆
(466)
Arco Iris is located 8km north of Playa Potrero. Less than 20 minutes of navigation. North of Penahuaste or Brumel Island in English. A rock formation runs from the northwest face of the island in a northerly direction. There are many white tip reef sharks. 10 to 30 m/ 33 to 100ft.
This site is incredible to see a maximum of sharks. You need a good guide who will know how to find them. You can meet different varieties of rays. Huge schools of different fish!
