Bajo de los Pargos
★★★★★
(95)
Located on the western edge of the island shelf, this dive site, with depths from 50 feet (15 meters) to 80 feet (24 meters), offers wonderful dives for divers of all experience levels.Shoals of shy snappers, which eventually come out of hiding, give this site its name.
Beginning in a square of calcareous sand with coral patches, its slope descends gently forming a cliff, where jacks and snappers arrive from the open sea.
