Playa La Salemera

★★★★★ (343)

A huge field of lava with bright sandy patches leading down for about 40m, but offering a beautiful dive at any depth starting at 15m. There are lots of arches in the very shallow area to end the dive at or explore on the second dive.

An impressive amount of yellow sponges. There is also a good chance to spot groupers, amberjacks and tuna in the clear water. Huge stingrays are frequent as well.
