About El Laberinto
A E Vickery is a beginner-friendly reef dive in the Rincón del Mar area, usually reached on a boat trip to a shallow coral top that steps down to a deeper cliff. White sand makes the layout easy to read, and reef life concentrates along the coral edges. It suits divers who want a relaxed Caribbean profile with simple navigation, clear water, and enough structure to keep the dive interesting.

Keep fins and hands off the coral towers, and do not let easy access tempt you into kicking up sand or bumping the reef. The site is beginner-friendly, not hands-off.

Follow local reef-protection rules and the dive briefing; the coral is the site asset, so avoid contact and stir-up.
Local Intel For El Laberinto
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for beginners, with a shallow start and the option to continue to the deeper cliff if conditions and comfort allow.
Freediving
Good for experienced freedivers on calm days because the shallow top is accessible and the route stays simple if you don't push the cliff.
Snorkeling
The shallow top can work for a casual snorkel on calm days, but the site is more rewarding as a freedive or scuba outing once you want the deeper reef edge.
