La Tixera
Accessible by boat just a few minutes from Playa San Juan, there is a nice V-shaped platform at 25 meters depth with a drop-off to 40 meters. The ocean on this side of the island is wilder and not so marked by tourism.
Murray eels, octopuses, variety of rays including stingrays and typical Atlantic fish. You can even spot flying fish here.
