Dive in the famous reserve of "El Cabrón". Entry from the shore, there are two main areas to be explored. A reef with a maximum of 12m and several life forms living in the rocks, and a deeper part, where it is possible to explore the wall during the descent/ascent. The floor hits at a maximum 22m depth.
Missed out the stingrays and small sharks that can be spotted here. Shools of Barracudas could be seen swimming around as well as some bigger fish.
