Guided boat reef dive with calm water, a small overhead section and an easy profile that suits newer divers and snorkelers.
About Español/Borracho
Español/Borracho is a relaxed Caribbean reef dive with a small cave and a short swim-through that make it more interesting than a plain lagoon stop. The route stays shallow and uncomplicated, so it suits newer divers and snorkelers as long as they respect the overhead section. Plan on a guided boat outing rather than a casual shore hop, with generally calm water and easy pacing. Expect a mix of sharks, rays, turtles and dense reef fish around the coral.

Scuba Diving
Easy shallow reef diving with a small cave and swim-through, best kept relaxed and conservative around the overhead section.
