Dive-site story
Set within the El Cabrón Marine Reserve near Arinaga, Los Roncadores is famous for the vast, swirling shoals of bastard grunts that gather along volcanic basalt ledges and dramatic swim-throughs. The underwater topography features an abrupt drop-off with fissures, overhangs, and natural arches before giving way to open sandy plains where rays and angelsharks often rest.
Massive, dense aggregations of bastard grunts hanging statically in the water column
Volcanic arches and rock shelves sheltering morays and glass-eye snappers
Sandy bottom transitions offering frequent sightings of angelsharks and round stingrays

Seasonality
Calmer seas and warmer water characterize the summer and autumn months, though winter brings higher chances of angelshark encounters.
