Barracuda - Playa del Carmen
★★★★☆
(1,186)
A shallow reef with a strong current and many different coral formations. Like most of the reefs in Playa, it is a long wall, for which you need to be careful with descending, have good buoyance and be comfortable in the water to be able to dive calmly.
Due to the strong currents carrying many nutrients, on this reef you will find a great variety of fish and aquatic organisms, turtles, sponges, corals, moray eels and rays.
