PACIFIC OCEAN'S DIVE SITES PREVIEW

El Morro grande scuba

Los bajos ( the shallows ) are pinnacles that never reached the surface, some are 1/4 of a mile diameter with drop offs on one side and sand bottoms on the other
side, most of them are surrounded by schools of jacks, red snappers, parrots, king angels and clouds of damsels... When giant manta rays pass over this shallows
and discover the large amounts of angels and banner fish, the place turns into a very large cleaning station and the divers have the best sits available.

Pinnacles at El Morro - Chimo - Las Iglesias

This typical Pacific Pinnacles rise from 450 ft to 2000 ft, some only reach 20 ft high above sea level, dozens of tunnels, caves, swim troughs and a very large amount of
sea life surrounds the walls... Large Manta rays visit the pinnacle during all times of the day providing divers with the unique opportunity to dive at very close range
you can almost touch their bellies, in many occasions mantas stay with the small dive group during the whole dive and very often during the pick season we dive with
half a dozen mantas at the same time... Weather is essential and we only dive the pinnacles with good enough weather
