The dive starts at 6 meters deep, where we can find a small cave often visited by divers in apnea.
Heading south, we find a rock wall that is part of a solidified lava tongue, that reaches 30 meters deep, it ends in a circular opening that crosses the formation from side to side. When going up towards West, we can find yellow chestnuts clouds, many groupers of various sizes, and whiting. In the top of the rock at around,12 meters deep, there is a hole that houses a moray eel already known by the divers, called Esmeralda (Emerald). On the sandy bottom, we can see a large school of "snorers" that takes advantage of debris to feed. In the upper area of rolled pebbles, we can find a really giant anemone.
During the return and at the safety stop, we will have some curious triggerfish, that will make some company.
