La Emboscada
★★★★☆
(1,626)
At 2m deep, the reef changes into a steep wall, which ends between 20 and 32 meters in a cooled lava flow. From there, lava fingers go out into the falling sandy bottom. In the northeastern part, rock needles stand in front of the reef wall and form gorges. A little deeper there are breakthroughs and caves.
In the shallower part on the reef top, you can find shoals of yellowtail, garfish, and parrotfish. In front of the wall are all the hunters like barracudas, tunas, and bonitos.
