“Magueyito” Conejos
This dive site is the one furthest out to the east and therefore closest the the mouth of the Copalita River. This means it is relatively quiet and undisturbed, so you tend to see a lot of fish and other marine life in the area. Normally we dive on the inside of the little bay, in the shallow part, you can also dive on the outside where it´s a bit deeper and you may see some bigger fish. In the rainy season the river will cause the visibility to go down, the best time to dive this area would be from October to June.

“Morros Conejos” Conejos
Not very frequently visited by divers or fishermen means that at this site you´ll find many octopi and lobsters amongst other creatures favorite on the menu of the local restaurants. A team from the University of San Fransisco found species of groupers and gobies here, they had not been able to find anywhere else. It´s a relatively shallow site, plenty of time to explore around the rocks and have a relaxed dive. On the sandy bottom you´ll regularly find Goatfish, flounders and stingrays.

“Punta Arena” Conejos
An area with many rocks scattered around on the sandy bottom which makes for an ideal dive site for exploring. You´ll find all kinds of aquatic life hidden in between or under the rocks, from tiny crabs to big moray eels. In the sand you´ll often encounter big stingrays up to 2m/7ft in size. In the deeper part, more on the outside, is where often Parrotfish, snappers and smaller groupers hang out as well as schools of fish of various species. You may also see Stonefish and turtles.

“La Guerrilla” Tangolunda
Here you can do a nice easy shallow dive and take your time exploring the area with a couple of big rocks standing in the sand. You can also descend in the deeper part and do a dive on the outside of the island where you´ll find some very interesting rock formations. There may be some current or surge present on the outside from which you´re normally protected in the shallow part. If you go around the corner to the inside of the island you´ll discover shallow coral plates which are full of fish and very nice for snorkelers.

“La Montosa” Tangolunda
This island, formed by volcanic rock, offers a fantasy landscape full of life in every nook & cranny, cavern, cave and crevice. Depths range from 10m/30ft to 24m/80ft. On the inside of the island you´ll find coral in the shallow part, which is nice for snorkeling as well. The outside has big rocks and interesting rock formations with a good chance of encountering some big fish. One of the small caves on the west side is frequently visited by Nurse Sharks and sometimes you can see huge groupers in the area.
