About El Secreto 2
El Secreto 2 is an open-ocean-facing reef off the Malpais/Santa Teresa coast with a flatter profile that still rewards patient scanning. Smaller reef fish hold on the bottom, while the site becomes more interesting when moving water brings in sharks, jacks, morays, turtles, and other pelagic visitors. It suits divers who are comfortable with guide-led timing and a current-aware reef dive.
