Playa Paraiso

Maximum 18-25 meters

Get set for one of the best dives on the island. With a backdrop of spectacular rock formations, this site is just teeming with life. From a rocky plateau at 10 meters we drop down to 20 and then follow the cliff formation down to 25 meters. Barracuda, octopus, moray eels, sea bream and numerous species of stingray are always present. The highlight is usually a very close encounter with several of the resident Atlantic rays one of which measures 2 meters (not counting the tail). Occasional visitors also include larger angel sharks and butterfly rays.

Palm Mar Cave

Maximum 20-30 meters

From the surface we drop on to a rocky plateau at 20 meters and then descend down a wall to sand at 30 meters. Here we find an entrance to an enormous cave protected by moray eels of several species. We do not enter the cave proper as several divers have lost their lives exploring the vast tunnel but instead swim in to the cave entrance just a few meters to take in the mysterious atmosphere. Further out on the sand you can see the occasional passing stingray or even an angel shark!
