El Monasterio
★★★★☆
(87)
Tightly spaced rocks, openings, and niches dominate this dive site. The peace and quiet and the play of light seem like a monastery. Towards the south, the site slopes down over sandy areas into the depths.
The rocks are overgrown with black corals, in the holes moray eels and forkbeards and on the sandy ground in between you can find gurnards.
