Palmitas
★★★★☆
(1,622)
A great dive site for newer divers due to the shallow depth and little to no current. Very interesting rock formations to see and lots of fun swim-throughs to explore.
You’ll see typical sub-tropical Pacific life like possible eagle and giant manta rays, turtles, stingrays, and lots of fish: snapper, angelfish, grunts, parrot fish, and grouper.
