El Islote

★★★★☆ (300)

Beautiful rock pinnacle in Cabo Pulmo, Mexico. Easy dive done in a circular pattern around the pinnacle. Wall diving with outshoots to different rock outcroppings.

Large schools of fish with a regular school of sardines circling the top of El Islote. Many schools of leopard grouper and often bulls sharks come in for a visit. Many purple sea fans!
