La Cueva de la Virgen
★★★★☆
(1,249)
This is a very simple dive, where there are hardly any currents and they are usually gentle, with a small tunnel that is about 12 meters long. At the entrance to the cave, at a depth of about 15 meters, there is an image of the Virgen del Carmen, hence its name. During the dive you will also see several wrecks.
You will see groupers, croakers, dentons, bream, three tails, kingfish, barracudas, parrotfish (old canary), moray eels, conger eels, nudibranchs, flavelines, and occasionally sunfish and eagle rays.
