Punta Gorda
★★★★☆
(654)
Punta Gorda is one of our further local dive sites. It’s name after the big rocky outcropping which it’s located next to. One of the more colorful place in the area.
A nice mix of bigger fish and small critters. Harlequin shrimps and seahorse can be seen here on the same dive as moray eels and eagle rays.
