Situated off the coast of Manuel Antonio, this submerged volcanic rock formation features an undulating underwater ridge flanked by rocky boulders, crevices, and sandy patches. Divers drift along the structure watching for bottom-dwelling predators and pelagic visitors sweeping in from open water.
Volcanic rock spine cut by ledges and narrow overhangs
Frequent encounters with whitetip reef sharks resting on sandy gutters
Dense schools of snappers and grunts hovering along the ridge crest
