Laguna de Apoyo 60m Spot

★★★★★ (1,569)

Laguna de Apoyo first official freediving spot. Water is warm, no thermocline, no current, and rarely any waves. Main training spot for Freediving Nicaragua. 60m clean available. Private mooring line, contact Freediving Nicaragua.

This is a volcanic crater lake, only 7 species of fish are living in it, because it’s neither saltwater, nor fully freshwater. The biggest ones are about 15cm long. Nothing dangerous.
