Paraiso Reef
★★★★★
(2,021)
This is the first reef when entering the Marine Park. It is a popular second dive and also a popular night dive. The current typically runs from South to North. The dive usually starts across from the entrance of the local marina and drifts north. There are a few coral ridges that parallel the shore line.
You will get to see schools of grunts, snappers, sergeant majors and many queen angelfish. You can find various anemones and a variety of sponges clinging to the coral heads.
