Monkey Head
★★★★☆
(312)
Monkey head is a 15 minute boat ride from Playas del Coco. The dive site is part of a pinnacle that above water represents a monkey head, hence its name. Under water it is one of our favourite dive sites.
Reef sharks and rays can be spotted in the sand. In the shallower part large schools of reef fish and often eagle rays and devil rays are spotted.
