Esquina Norte is Isla Fuerte's coral turn on the north edge.
Usually dived through an Isla Fuerte boat operator or dive center.
Esquina Norte is the north-edge reef turn on Isla Fuerte, where the platform bends into a channel-like line of massive coral. The route keeps divers close to the reef crest and coral mounds, so it feels more like following a guided reef line than crossing open water. It is best handled through a local island operator that can match the day's boat plan to the site.
