Atalaya

★★★★★ (367)

In the northern area of ​​Lobos, there’s this deep dive spot restricted to experienced divers, due to the fact that we can reach 32-34m. We begin on top of a volcanic platform at approx 22m and from there we descend towards the north following the ridg that creates a wonderful overhang with cracks and tunnels

Below the overhang we can see lobsters, hermit crabs, nudibranches and beautiful sponges and anemons. Barracudas, dusky and common groupers, breams and rays are also frequently observed
