Las Palmas Reef
★★★★☆
(756)
As the shelf of Dzul Ha drops off, a gently sloping wall with sandy patches and scattered coral balls offers great night dives and plenty of marine life. This dive starts at the Money bar and can end 700 meters further North at the Presidente Intercontinental hotel.
Night critters abound in the sponges and coral: king crab, spiny lobster, moray eel, plenty of playful squid during the season and octopus.
