El Muellito

★★★★☆ (2,708)

Located in the middle area of the Salina reef, this dive site is great for beginners. After the edge of the reef at 7m, the dive goes in several stages of 15m, 19m, 32m, and then to 40m plus. Split off from the reef wall, a rock pin stands alone in front of the reef and provides shelter for young groupers.

Along the edge of the reef, large shoals of sardines patrol, and countless species of fish live among the rocks overgrown with algae and plants. Parrotfish, Octopus, and Sepia.
