Playa San Juan, Gym

★★★★☆ (77)

In Playa San Juan you can do a shore dive from the harbour or dive in the middle of the town in a beautiful bay next to a small outdoor gym. This is also where the name of the dive sites comes from. It almost always delivers great visibility due to the diverse rock formations close to shore.

The deeper section of the dive is around 18 meters, where stingrays can often be found in the sandy areas. Very common are also octopus here, hidden under the multiple rocks.
