Features

Two impressive rock formations paint a dramatic underwater scene off the steep coast of Punta de la Mona. Two parallel cracks are home to amberjacks, moray eels and wrasses.

 

In the darker corners of the rock formations, lobsters and octopuses are constantly hiding. Colorful nudibranchs like to linger on the cold-water corals that adorn the rocks.


This dive counts as one of the more challenging in the area, especially because stronger currents often occur.
