Montaña Roja

★★★★☆ (139)

in front of the beaches along the dunes, this volcanic reef goes from south to north following the shoreline in an almost perfect parallel fashion. We descend at around 10m on top of the reef and then descend towards the sand reaching a max. depth of 18-20m. We then follow the slope either in a N or S direction

Good chances to see angelsharks in winter and different species of rays throughout the year. Jacks, barracudas and schools of sardines are always present in the blue!
