La Tortuga
★★★★☆
(808)
Located northwest of Playa Coco, La Tortuga gets its name from the turtle-shaped island above it, as well as a turtle-shaped cement block connected to the mooring line. This is a great dive site with many routes and a small wreck.
Towards the wreck, you can observe white tip sharks, when the water is cooler, numerous stingrays. Lots of box fish and crocodiles fish towards the moorings.
