Dive-site story
Situated along the protected slopes of Isla del Caño, The Garden features rocky volcanic structures intertwined with patches of hard coral and white sand channels. The shallower depths allow ambient light to illuminate schools of reef fish congregating over massive boulder formations. Whitetip reef sharks regularly rest along the sandy margins, while turtles graze on algae-covered volcanic shelves.
Placid sandy gullies where whitetip reef sharks congregate along the bottom
Dense schools of yellowtail grunts and Pacific crevalle jacks circling above the volcanic formations
Regular encounters with hawksbill and green sea turtles feeding along the reef crest
