Ressurreta is a heavily visited drift site between Rata and Meio islands, where current carries divers past sponge-lined crevices, lobsters, schools of fish, and an old anchor. Its accessible profile works for first-time drift divers, but the rock detail and night-dive potential keep it interesting for more experienced visitors too.
