Although the seamount´s top is only 12mts away, this dive is recommended for experienced divers, since it is located about half a mile off the coast, in a zone exposed to currents and with a maximum depth of 32mts.
Excellent place to see several species of pelagic fish, such as Mackerel and Bicudas, that normally swim there.
On the southern side of the lowlands, where the depth reaches 32mts, we can observe large specimens of black coral covered with spirographs. You can also meet a very sympathetic resident, a big Dusky Grouper.
The North side of the low, located at 24mts gives place to a landscape of large rocky blocks where we can see species like Groupers, Mullets and Eagle ray.
