Gorgonias
★★★★☆
(50)
This is a deep dive on the south end of Los Cancajos beach. You will follow a downward slope that leads to fields of red Gorgonias. If you go a bit deeper you will even see black corals. On the way back you can go through the shallow lava labyrinth called “Mordor“.
The sandy bottom is home to all types of rays. Amber jacks can be spotted here as well and schools of different small fish.
