About La montañita
La Montañita is a shallow San Andrés reef-and-cave dive with lush coral over a sandy bottom, plus a small cave that makes the site feel playful rather than deep. It suits divers who want a relaxed Caribbean reef line, clean buoyancy around the coral, and a route that can double as an easy night-dive-style outing. The planning work is mostly about coral care, entry comfort, and keeping the cave line tidy.

Overhead environment
Safety Notes
Keep trim around the coral, watch the cave ceiling, and treat the site as shallow but reef-sensitive.
Access Restrictions
Shore entry is simplest, but the reef and cave are easiest with a local guide if you do not know the west side well.
Legal Notes
San Andrés sits in the Seaflower MPA, so reef-care and local access rules apply.
